name	dalgo-mcp
description	Route Dalgo MCP tool workflows. Use when a request involves Dalgo data, pipelines, syncs, transforms, dashboards, charts, or reports, to pick the right domain skill and stay on MCP tools.

dalgo-mcp

Use for routing any Dalgo request to the narrowest domain skill.

Always

• Use the dalgo_* MCP tools for all Dalgo work. Do not call the Dalgo REST API directly with curl, httpx, or Python requests.
• Call tools directly with the obvious parameters; fetch a tool's schema only after a validation error. These skills are workflow guidance, not schema definitions.
• Never report an async operation (pipeline run, sync, dbt run) as successful based only on the trigger response. Each domain skill defines its verification loop — follow it.
• If the MCP tools cannot satisfy the request, say which capability is missing and point the user to the Dalgo web UI. Do not switch to direct API calls.
• For questions about Dalgo itself (features, how-to, concepts), use dalgo_search_docs, dalgo_list_docs, and dalgo_get_doc before answering from memory.

Decision Rules

• Exploring warehouse schemas, tables, columns, or row data: use dalgo-warehouse.
• Running, scheduling, creating, or checking orchestration pipelines: use dalgo-pipelines.
• Airbyte sources, connections, stream catalogs, or sync history: use dalgo-ingestion.
• dbt models, the transform canvas, operations, or dbt run: use dalgo-transforms.
• Charts, dashboards, or reports: use dalgo-visualization.
• Diagnosing any failure (pipeline, sync, dbt) or checking notifications: use dalgo-troubleshooting.
• A request spanning domains (e.g. "sync the data then run transforms") chains skills in data-flow order: ingestion → pipelines → transforms → warehouse → visualization.

Workflow Order

1. Identify the Dalgo domain(s) in the request.
2. Load the narrowest domain skill and follow its workflow.
3. Resolve names to IDs with the domain's list_* tool before calling detail or mutation tools.
4. Verify async operations to a terminal state before reporting success.
