The tools this component advertises to a client, with an estimated token cost for each. Expand a tool to see its parameters and schema. The per-tool counts are indicative and are not scored directly; the schema's total context footprint is one signal in Schema Quality & AI Usability. A tool's description is untrusted text the model reads on every call, which is what makes this list a security surface and not just an inventory: how tool poisoning works →
analyze_workbook Analyze a Tableau workbook ~94
Parse a local Tableau workbook (.twbx or .twb) and return an overview: field counts, datasources, calculated-field names by type, parameter names, and raw fields. Parsing happens locally; the file is never uploaded. Start here, then use the other tools for details.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
audit_workbook Audit a workbook for dead weight and performance ~148
Find what is wrong with a workbook: fields and parameters nothing uses (each with a confidence level and the reason), duplicate calculations (identical formulas under different names, and the more dangerous same-name-different-formula case), and performance findings (heavy LODs, nested calculations, deep calculation chains, non-fixed dashboard sizing, live connections, and more). Use it before a cleanup, a migration, or a workbook review. Unused fields are reported with confidence rather than as certainties, because a field can be referenced in ways a file cannot show.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
diff_workbooks Compare two workbook versions ~138
Semantic diff between two Tableau workbooks: calculations added, removed, renamed or edited (with the downstream fields each edit affects), plus changed parameters, filters, worksheets, dashboards, data sources and stored SQL. Formula reformatting is ignored, and a field that disappears while an identical formula appears under a new name is reported as a rename. Use this for release notes, code review of a workbook change, or answering "what changed and what does it break?".
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| after | string | yes | Path to the later .twbx or .twb |
| before | string | yes | Path to the earlier .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_field Get one field in full detail ~88
Full detail for a single field by name (brackets optional, case-insensitive): formula, type, direct dependencies, and every field that directly uses it.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| field | string | yes | Field name, e.g. "Profit Ratio" or "[Profit Ratio]" |
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
get_lineage_graph Get the full lineage graph ~72
The complete dependency graph as JSON: one node per field/parameter (with type) and one directed edge per dependency (source feeds target). Suitable for rendering or graph analysis.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_calculated_fields List calculated fields with formulas ~103
List every calculated field in the workbook with its formula, type (calculated / LOD / table calc), datasource, and what it directly depends on. Optionally filter by a case-insensitive substring of the field name or formula.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| filter | string | – | Optional case-insensitive substring to match against field names and formulas |
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_filters List the filters in the workbook ~117
Every filter in the workbook, deduplicated across worksheets: the field it acts on (caption-resolved), filter kind (categorical / quantitative / relative-date), whether it is a context filter, which worksheets use it, selected member values when stored, and quantitative ranges. Includes a by_worksheet grouping and the distinct list of fields driving any filter. Data-source filters are marked "(data source filter)".
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_parameters List parameters ~58
List every parameter in the workbook: current value, datatype, allowed values, and which calculated fields use each one.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_sql_queries List the SQL stored in the workbook ~122
Extract every SQL statement the workbook contains: Custom SQL relations (with the full query text), Initial SQL run when a connection opens, stored-procedure references with their parameters, and RAWSQL_* calculated fields. Each entry names the datasource and the database connection (class, server, dbname) it targets. Note: queries Tableau auto-generates at runtime for live connections are not stored in the file, so they cannot be extracted.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
list_worksheets List worksheets with their fields and filters ~100
Every worksheet in the workbook with the fields it uses (caption-resolved, from its datasource dependencies) and the filters it applies (field, kind, context status). The per-sheet view of the workbook: use it to answer "what does this sheet depend on?" or "where is this field actually displayed?".
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
trace_dependencies Trace a field’s lineage ~119
Trace what a field is built from (upstream, recursive tree down to raw columns and parameters) and everything that would be affected if it changed (downstream, transitive). The impact-analysis tool: use before editing a calculation.
| Name | Type | Req | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
| field | string | yes | Field name, e.g. "Profit Ratio" or "[Profit Ratio]" |
| max_depth | integer | – | Maximum upstream recursion depth (default 10) |
| path | string | yes | Absolute (or cwd-relative) path to a local Tableau workbook: .twbx or .twb |
No output schema declared.
No examples provided.
What is the Tableau Workbook Auditor MCP server?
Tableau Workbook Auditor is an MCP server listed in the public MCP registry as io.github.andey0Saikiran/tableau-lineage. Local-only Tableau .twbx audit: lineage, unused fields, duplicate calcs, SQL, version diffs. This page covers its npm package (tableau-lineage-mcp).
Is the Tableau Workbook Auditor MCP server safe to use?
Tableau Workbook Auditor scores 86 out of 100 on VerifyMCP. We found no known CVEs affecting it as of 21 September 2026. It declares no install or post-install scripts.

What tools does the Tableau Workbook Auditor MCP server expose?
Tableau Workbook Auditor exposes 11 tools: analyze_workbook, list_calculated_fields, get_field, trace_dependencies, list_parameters, and 6 more. Their descriptions and schemas cost roughly 1,159 tokens of context every time the server is loaded.
Is the Tableau Workbook Auditor MCP server still maintained?
Tableau Workbook Auditor is still listed as active in the MCP registry. We last reached this channel on 21 September 2026. Those dates come from our own scans of the registry and the channel itself, not from anything the publisher announced.
What licence is the Tableau Workbook Auditor MCP server under?
Tableau Workbook Auditor declares the MIT licence, which is OSI-approved. That covers the source only, and says nothing about the cost of any service it calls.
