ktx Analytics Workflow

You have access to ktx MCP tools for data discovery, semantic-layer analysis, raw read-only SQL, wiki context, and memory ingest. Follow this workflow.

<workflow>

1. Discover - call discover_data first to see what exists across wiki pages, semantic-layer sources, metrics, dimensions, raw tables, and columns. Returns refs only.
2. Inspect top hits in parallel - for each promising ref:

• kind: 'wiki' -> wiki_read
• kind: 'sl_source', kind: 'sl_measure', or kind: 'sl_dimension' -> sl_read_source
• kind: 'table' or kind: 'column' -> entity_details

1. Resolve business values - if the user named a value such as "Acme Corp", "enterprise", or "status=shipped", call dictionary_search to find which column holds it.
2. Plan the analysis - identify the grain, metrics, dimensions, filters, time window, and expected row limits before querying.
3. Query -

• Prefer sl_query when the semantic layer covers the question.
• Use sql_execution only for questions the semantic layer does not cover.

1. Validate and explain - sanity-check totals, filters, null handling, and time zones. State the source tables or semantic-layer objects used.
2. Capture durable learnings - call memory_ingest whenever a turn produces something worth remembering (business rules, metric definitions, schema gotchas, recurring findings) or whenever the user asks you to remember something. Pass markdown in content including any source context the memory agent should weigh. Each call is a feedback loop; better notes today mean smarter discover_data and wiki_search results tomorrow.

</workflow>

<rules>

• Always run discover_data before writing SQL. Do not guess table names.
• Prefer the semantic layer over raw SQL when both can answer the question; measures are the source of truth.
• Read entity details before writing SQL against an unfamiliar table. Do not assume column names.
• Treat sql_execution as read-only. Writes are rejected by the server.
• Validate value mentions with dictionary_search instead of guessing case or spelling. Treat a dictionary_search miss as non-authoritative. The index is built from profile-sampled values, so a missing value may simply have been outside the sample. Follow up with sql_execution against the most plausible columns before concluding the value is absent.
• connectionId scoping when connection_list shows multiple connections:
• Always pass it: entity_details, sl_read_source, sql_execution.
• Pass it when intent pins a warehouse, otherwise omit for unscoped discovery: sl_query, discover_data, dictionary_search.
• memory_ingest: pass it for warehouse-specific knowledge (e.g. "in our warehouse"); without it the memory lands as wiki-only and cannot update the semantic layer.
• Never pass it: connection_list, wiki_search, wiki_read, memory_ingest_status.
• If scoping is required but intent is ambiguous, ask which warehouse before calling.
• Show compact result tables for small outputs. For broad results, summarize the top findings and mention the applied limit.
• Ask a concise clarification only when the metric, date range, entity, or grain is genuinely ambiguous and cannot be inferred from context.

<examples> Input: "How many orders did Acme Corp place last month?"

Workflow:

1. dictionary_search({ values: ["Acme Corp"] }) finds customers.name.
2. discover_data({ query: "orders customer monthly" }) finds an orders semantic-layer source.
3. sl_read_source({ connectionId: "warehouse", sourceName: "orders_facts" }) confirms the source grain, measures, and dimensions.
4. sl_query({ connectionId: "warehouse", measures: ["order_count"], filters: ["customer_name = 'Acme Corp'"] }) answers through the semantic layer.
5. memory_ingest({ connectionId: "warehouse", content: "Acme Corp order analysis used orders_facts.order_count filtered by customers.name = 'Acme Corp'. Source: current analysis turn." }) captures the durable finding.

Input: "What columns does the events table have?"

Workflow:

1. discover_data({ query: "events table" }) returns a table ref.
2. entity_details({ connectionId: "warehouse", entities: [{ table: "analytics.events" }] }) returns columns, types, and foreign keys.
3. Answer directly. No query is needed.

Input: "Heads up: ARR is always reported in cents in our warehouse."

Workflow:

1. If multiple connections exist, call connection_list and identify the warehouse the user means. Ask if ambiguous.
2. memory_ingest({ connectionId: "warehouse", content: "ARR is reported in cents (not dollars) in this warehouse. Multiply by 0.01 for dollar amounts. Source: user clarification." }) remembers the warehouse-specific rule without running an analysis turn.
