Short answer

How can I audit my data infrastructure using AI?

Your AI pulls your connection lists, schema details, and alert configurations directly from Metaplane. It then compares these against your requirements to find gaps or broken lineage. You get a full map of your data health without manual clicking.

Where every issue lands.

Audit outcomes

The AI organizes its findings into these specific areas.

LINEAGE

Map data flow

The AI uses connection and schema data to trace how information moves. You get a clear picture of your data dependencies.

CONFIG

Verify alert rules

The AI checks your active alerts against your schema to ensure coverage. It flags where rules might be missing or misconfigured.

SCHEMA

Detect drift

By pulling schema details, the AI identifies mismatches between expected and actual data structures. This highlights potential downstream breaks.

HUMAN

Manual triage

The AI identifies high-risk configuration gaps that require your direct intervention. You decide which alerts to fix or create.

The workflow

What your AI does when the audit starts.

The AI moves through your Metaplane environment to build a complete audit report.

  1. Identify connections

    The AI finds every data source currently feeding into your Metaplane instance. This establishes the scope of the audit.

    list_data_connections

  2. Inspect schemas

    It looks deep into the structure of those connections to see what data is actually being moved. This helps find structural issues.

    list_connection_schemas

  3. Review alerts

    The AI pulls your existing alert rules to see what you are currently monitoring. It checks if these rules actually cover your schemas.

    list_configured_alerts

  4. Report gaps

    The AI compares the connections, schemas, and alerts to find where your monitoring is weak. It presents these gaps as actionable insights.

    list_configured_alerts

  • List all my Metaplane data connections and tell me which ones have no active alerts.

  • Check the schema for my Snowflake connection and see if my current alerts cover all the tables.

  • Review my active alert rules and find any that seem redundant or poorly configured.

  • Map out the lineage for my production database connection and identify any schema mismatches.

FAQ

How this task behaves

  • 01

    Can the AI change my alert settings?

    No. The AI can only read your connections, schemas, and alerts. You must manually update settings in Metaplane.

  • 02

    Can the AI delete a data connection?

    No. This MCP is read-only. It cannot delete or modify any part of your Metaplane infrastructure.

  • 03

    Does the AI see my actual data rows?

    No. The AI only sees the metadata, such as connection names, schema structures, and alert configurations.

  • 04

    How does the AI know if an alert is missing?

    The AI compares the list of schemas it finds against the list of configured alerts to see where coverage is lacking.

  • 05

    Can I use this with any AI client?

    Yes, you can use this with any MCP-compatible client like Claude, Cursor, or Windsurf.
