These pages describe the previous multi-agent runtime. For Data Analyst agents (warehouse connection + semantic models), use the current Agents docs.
The previous runtime used an orchestrator that received every message, then delegated to Database Query and Data Analysis subagents. Warehouse access was scoped with dataset and table filters, not semantic models.

Agent types

The previous runtime had two architectures:

Data Analysis Agent

The orchestrator handled the full workflow — querying data, analysing results, generating charts and reports — with a single, streamlined setup.

Multi-Agent Swarm

The orchestrator delegated to separately configured subagents. More flexible for complex setups, more configuration.
The type controlled which subagents and tools appeared in Agent Builder. It could not be changed after the agent had been used in production without reconfiguring the subagents.

Configuration

Agent Builder

Orchestrator canvas, subagent tools, and model overrides.

Data Access

Connector, dataset filter, table filter, and user groups.
