Overview
Genesis Data Agents extend beyond chat by invoking tools that connect to systems, move data, run code, and orchestrate work. This page is your high-level index of every available tool, what it does, and who it serves across Data Engineering, DataOps, and Business Analyst workflows.How Do Genesis Data Agents Use Tools?
Data Engineering
Automates pipeline development – analyzing source data, proposing data transformations, and coding pipelines with minimal human intervention.
DataOps
Act as vigilant monitors and first responders in the data environment. They proactively monitor pipelines, identify anomalies or failures, and even auto-resolve issues.
Business Analyst
Search documents and the web, run controlled queries, assemble findings in Sheets or Docs, and share insights with stakeholders.
Tool Objectives
Automate
Offload repetitive or schedule-driven tasks so agents can execute end-to-end without human handoffs.
Integrate
Bridge databases, repos, SaaS, and storage so insights and actions flow across systems.
Observe
Surface health, usage, and performance to keep data products reliable and auditable.
Enable Insights
Retrieve, enrich, and package information.
