Metabase Integration for AI Agents
Metabase is an open-source BI tool for building questions, charts and dashboards on top of databases. Teams use it to get analysis without depending only on IT. The agent connects to Metabase through the iTeam app catalog, using the official API, to run saved questions, read dashboards and send results, respecting collection permissions.
What AI agents do with Metabase
A dashboard explained in text
Instead of sending only a screenshot, the agent reads the dashboard's questions and writes what went up, what went down and the likely reason, for people who never open Metabase.
Saved questions on demand
A manager asks in chat for this week's average ticket. The agent runs the right saved question in Metabase and answers with the number.
Alerts with context
When a metric crosses its threshold, the agent does more than notify. It breaks the change down by segment and says which customer, product or channel caused it.
Tidying collections
The agent finds duplicate or unused questions and proposes a cleanup for the data team to approve.
