Tableau
Lets an agent read your Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud content through the REST API: list workbooks, views, published data sources and projects, fetch a single workbook, and pull a view's underlying data as CSV. The connector signs in with a Personal Access Token, then reuses the resulting session for the rest of the run.
What it can do
| Method | What it does |
|---|---|
tableau_workbooks_list | List workbooks on the site (optional page size, page number, filter). |
tableau_workbook_get | Get a single workbook by LUID. |
tableau_views_list | List views on the site. |
tableau_view_data | Query a view's underlying data as CSV (optional view filters). |
tableau_datasources_list | List published data sources. |
tableau_projects_list | List projects. |
tableau_request | Generic passthrough to any REST endpoint (site-scoped or absolute) for full API coverage. |
How to get your token
Tableau authenticates server-side calls with a Personal Access Token (PAT): a token name plus a one-time secret.
- Sign in to your Tableau Server or Tableau Cloud site.
- Open My Account Settings -> Personal Access Tokens (PAT docs).
- Enter a token name, click Create new token, and copy the secret - it is shown only once.
- Note your server URL from the browser address bar, e.g.
https://10ax.online.tableau.com(no trailing/api). - If you work on a non-default site, note the site content URL - the
/site/<contentUrl>/...segment in the address bar. Leave it empty to target the Default site.
Fields to fill
| FlyMyAI field | Where it comes from |
|---|---|
TABLEAU_SERVER_URL | Your Tableau Server / Cloud base URL, e.g. https://10ax.online.tableau.com |
TABLEAU_PAT_NAME | My Account Settings -> Personal Access Tokens -> the token name |
TABLEAU_PAT_SECRET | The secret shown once when you create the PAT (kept private) |
TABLEAU_SITE_CONTENT_URL | Optional - the site's contentUrl; empty targets the Default site |
Troubleshooting
401001/ sign-in error - the PAT name or secret is wrong, expired, or revoked. PATs expire after a period of inactivity; create a fresh one and re-copy both values.- Sign in to the wrong site - set
TABLEAU_SITE_CONTENT_URLto the contentUrl of the site you want (the/site/<contentUrl>/segment). Empty means the Default site. 404- the workbook, view, or data source LUID does not exist on the signed-in site, or the server URL points at the wrong pod. List first, then use the returned LUIDs.- Empty
tableau_view_data- the view filters removed all rows, or your token's user lacks permission on that view. Try without filters first.
