What Tellius can do through MCP
Once your client is connected, these are the tools it can call. In addition to tellius_ask for questions, and the discovery tools to find the right Business View, there are additional tools to build workflows, schedule delivery, or manage saved memories.
Some tools create, change, or permanently delete workflows and schedules. The access column marks which.

Prompts
A prompt is a starting point your client can offer, rather than something you type. Where tools are single actions your client calls one at a time, a prompt is a prepared sequence. It sets out the steps for a longer task and walks the client through them in order.
This helps most when you know the outcome you want but not which tools get you there.
tellius_setup_data
Connection, then dataset, then Business View, then a first query.
tellius_analyze
Discover data, explore the schema, then analyze.
tellius_build_workflow
Clarify the goal, draft the steps, create the workflow, then test it.
