dbt Cloud integration for AI agents
Insiro connects AI agents to dbt Cloud so they can act in it under your rules. dbt Cloud is a platform for managing analytics projects and governed data products. It provides administrative APIs, metadata discovery, and Semantic Layer access.

Frequently asked questions about dbt Cloud
Can Insiro AI agents use dbt Cloud?
Yes. Insiro connects AI agents to dbt Cloud through its governed MCP gateway. Agents can answer questions in plain English over the data and refresh reports on a schedule using each person's own dbt Cloud access, with read-only as the default and approvals for actions that change data.
How does Insiro connect to dbt Cloud?
dbt Cloud connects with OAuth 2.0 or bearer token. Each user connects their own account once; Insiro stores the credential encrypted and brokers it to the tool only at the moment of a call, so models never see it. Admins can also register a workspace-level connection.
Can I make dbt Cloud read-only for agents?
Yes. In Insiro Governance, set dbt Cloud to Off, Read only, or Read and write in a click. Write actions can require confirmation or owner approval by risk tier, and every call is logged with the user, tool, tokens and cost.
