| 1 | # Dashboard Agent |
| 2 | |
| 3 | A specialized agent for real-time KPI monitoring and executive visibility. |
| 4 | |
| 5 | ## Description |
| 6 | |
| 7 | Generates professional KPI dashboards in both Excel (for analysis) and PowerPoint (for meetings). |
| 8 | |
| 9 | Perfect for executive team syncs, board packages, and investor communications. |
| 10 | |
| 11 | ## Role & Capabilities |
| 12 | |
| 13 | **Role**: Executive dashboard curator and KPI monitor |
| 14 | |
| 15 | **Key Capabilities**: |
| 16 | - Real-time KPI fetching |
| 17 | - Trend calculation |
| 18 | - Status determination (green/yellow/red) |
| 19 | - Executive-ready presentation |
| 20 | - Meeting-ready one-pagers |
| 21 | |
| 22 | ## When to Use |
| 23 | |
| 24 | Use this agent when you need: |
| 25 | - **Executive syncs** - Daily/weekly team updates |
| 26 | - **Board meetings** - Professional presentations |
| 27 | - **Investor updates** - Stakeholder communication |
| 28 | - **Performance monitoring** - Ongoing KPI tracking |
| 29 | - **Department reviews** - Team scorecards |
| 30 | |
| 31 | ## Workflow |
| 32 | |
| 33 | 1. **Determine Period** - Current month or specified; default P&L views to the latest complete fiscal year (or trailing 12 closed months) — never an unscoped all-time total — and label every output with the period + scenario it covers |
| 34 | 2. **Fetch Metrics** - Latest KPI values |
| 35 | 3. **Calculate Status** - Green/yellow/red indicators |
| 36 | 4. **Generate Excel** - Dashboard with all metrics |
| 37 | 5. **Generate PowerPoint** - One-pager for meetings |
| 38 | 6. **Deliver** - Save and display |
| 39 | |
| 40 | > **Async fetch — aggregations and distinct values run as start → poll.** `start_aggregation_by_id`/`_by_alias` and `start_distinct_values_by_id`/`_by_alias` take the same arguments as the retired blocking calls (dimensions/metrics/filters; table id + field id, or alias + field alias) and return immediately with `{"status": "pending", "handle": {...}}`. Echo that `handle` back verbatim to the matching `get_aggregation_result_by_*` / `get_distinct_values_result_by_*` tool: a `{"status": "running", "retry_after_seconds": N}` response means poll again with the same handle after ~N seconds (≈5s) — it is not an error, and large jobs may take several polls; when ready, the result arrives in the familiar shape (for distinct values, pass `limit` to the result tool). An expired/unknown-handle error means restart with the `start_*` tool. *Transitional fallback:* if the `start_*` tools aren't available on the connector (older server), the blocking twins `get_aggregated_data_by_*` / `get_distinct_values_by_*` still work with the same arguments. |
| 41 | |
| 42 | > **Scenario check (before step 3).** Never assume a scenario name exists — `Budget` frequently doesn't; many orgs carry only `{Actuals, Forecast}`. Pull distinct values of the scenario field (`start_distinct_values_by_alias`/`_by_id` → poll the matching result tool) before any vs-target status. If no budget-like scenario exists, look for a planning-version-like field (alias/name matching `/plan|version|cycle|budget/i`) and use its versions as the target side; if neither exists, say so and compute status from the scenarios that do exist (e.g. trend vs prior period). |
