Can I use Tableau as a CLI?

Yes. KosmoKrator exposes a Tableau CLI through kosmo integrations:call and the provider shortcut command. Commands can return JSON for scripts, CI, and coding agents.

Can I expose Tableau through MCP?

Yes. The KosmoKrator MCP gateway can expose selected Tableau tools to clients such as Claude Code, Cursor, Codex, and other MCP-compatible tools.

Where are Tableau credentials stored?

Tableau credentials are configured in KosmoKrator's local integration settings and reused by CLI, Lua, and MCP gateway surfaces.

Can I deny write access for Tableau MCP tools?

Yes. Start the gateway with --write=deny for read-only clients, or use ask/allow only for trusted workspaces.

Tableau CLI for Coding Agents

Let coding agents discover schemas and execute integration functions through CLI commands or MCP.

Use this pattern when another coding agent needs exact commands and schema discovery. The Tableau CLI uses the same integration registry as the TUI, Lua runtime, and MCP gateway, but returns predictable command output for automation.

Command Shape

# Tableau CLI for Coding Agents
kosmokrator integrations:configure tableau --set access_token="$TABLEAU_ACCESS_TOKEN" --set site_id="$TABLEAU_SITE_ID" --enable --read allow --write ask --json
kosmo integrations:call tableau.tableau_list_workbooks '{"page_size":1,"page_number":1}' --json

Discovery Before Execution

Agents and scripts can inspect Tableau docs and schemas before choosing a function.

kosmo integrations:docs tableau --json
kosmo integrations:docs tableau.tableau_list_workbooks --json
kosmo integrations:schema tableau.tableau_list_workbooks --json
kosmo integrations:search "Tableau" --json
kosmo integrations:list --json

Useful Tableau CLI Functions

Function	Type	Parameters	Description
`tableau.tableau_list_workbooks`	Read	page_size, page_number	List workbooks available on the Tableau site. Returns workbook names, IDs, project assignments, and owners. Use the workbook IDs with tableau_get_workbook for full details.
`tableau.tableau_get_workbook`	Read	workbook_id	Get detailed information about a specific Tableau workbook, including its views, connections, and permissions. Requires the workbook LUID.
`tableau.tableau_list_views`	Read	page_size, page_number	List views (dashboards and sheets) available on the Tableau site. Returns view names, IDs, and associated workbooks. Use view IDs with tableau_get_view for full details.
`tableau.tableau_get_view`	Read	view_id	Get detailed information about a specific Tableau view (dashboard or sheet), including its workbook, owner, and usage stats. Requires the view LUID.
`tableau.tableau_list_projects`	Read	page_size, page_number	List projects on the Tableau site. Projects organize workbooks and data sources. Returns project names, IDs, descriptions, and parent project info.
`tableau.tableau_get_current_user`	Read	none	Get information about the currently authenticated Tableau user, including name, email, site role, and auth settings.

Automation Notes

Use --json for machine-readable output.
Keep credentials out of argv by using environment variables or stored KosmoKrator configuration.
Configure read/write policy before unattended runs; use --force only for trusted automation.
Use the MCP gateway instead when the agent needs dynamic tool discovery inside a conversation.
