Where every change lands.

Dashboard management outcomes

Your agent performs these specific actions to keep your Redash environment organized.

CREATION

New dashboards

Your agent builds fresh dashboards based on your instructions. You get a ready-to-use layout for your data.

UPDATES

Refined layouts

The AI modifies existing dashboard configurations. This keeps your visualizations current as your data needs change.

Human oversight

You decide which dashboards to keep or delete. The AI handles the heavy lifting, but you maintain final control over the workspace.

What your AI does when you request dashboard changes.

The agent follows a logical sequence to find, modify, or remove your Redash assets.

    The agent scans your Redash account to see what is currently available. This helps it find the right dashboard to target.

FAQ

How the Redash management works

  • 01

    Can my AI delete dashboards permanently?

    No. The agent can only archive dashboards, which keeps them out of your active list without permanent deletion.

  • 02

    Can the AI create new queries?

    No. This connector is specifically for managing dashboard structures, not for writing or creating individual SQL queries.

  • 03

    How does the AI know which dashboard to update?

    The agent uses the list and get tools to identify the specific dashboard by name or ID before applying any updates.

  • 04

    Will the AI change my dashboard permissions?

    No. The current tools only allow for creating, updating, listing, getting, and archiving dashboards.

  • 05

    Can I undo an action the AI took?

    If the agent archives a dashboard, you can still find it in Redash to restore it manually.
