Open-source agentic data engineering harness.
Give any AI agent 100+ deterministic tools for SQL, lineage, dbt, FinOps, and warehouse connectivity. Deliver benchmark-leading results for agentic data workflows.
#1 on the leading agentic data benchmarks
100+ purpose-built, deterministic tools for data agents — SQL analysis, column-level lineage, dbt, FinOps, and warehouse connectivity.
Why not just use Claude Code?
Claude Code is a great general coder. It has no data-specific tools.

Everything your AI agent needs to work with data — built in.
Bring Your Own LLM
Works with Anthropic, OpenAI, Google, AWS Bedrock, Azure, Ollama, and 10+ more providers. No vendor lock-in.
Cross-Platform
Claude Code, Cursor, Windsurf, VS Code, and any MCP-compatible client. One install, everywhere.
100+ Deterministic Tools
SQL analysis, column-level lineage, dbt integration, FinOps, warehouse connectivity — no hallucinations.
Column-Level Lineage
Trace data flow across your entire warehouse — from source to mart, column by column.
FinOps & Cost Optimization
Identify expensive queries, get optimization recommendations, and track warehouse spend.
Data Governance
Built-in governance checks, policy enforcement, and compliance validation across your data stack.

| Teach a pattern | /teach | /teach @models/staging/stg_orders.sql |
Pro tip:You don't need to memorize these. Just describe what you want in plain English — the agent routes to the right skill automatically.
