Технические названия из tools/list. Нужны только разработчикам.
| generate_layout_json | Generate and save a dashboard layout JSON file. |
| inspect_target_schema | Inspect the first-sheet schema of a target Excel datasource. |
| profile_twb_for_migration | Profile workbook datasources and worksheet scope before migration. |
| propose_field_mapping | Scan source and target schema and propose a field mapping. |
| preview_twb_migration | Preview a workbook migration onto a target datasource. |
| apply_twb_migration | Apply a workbook migration and write a migrated TWB plus reports. |
| migrate_twb_guided | Run the built-in migration workflow and pause for warning confirmation when needed. |
| list_capabilities | List twilize's declared capability boundary. |

| diff_template_gap | Summarize the non-core capability gap of a TWB template. |
| validate_workbook | Run an informational XSD schema check on a workbook (2026.1 schema). This is a non-blocking, advisory check only. Tableau Desktop is the true validator — it routinely produces workbooks that deviate from the published XSD schema, so deviations reported here do NOT indicate the workbook is broken. The workbook will almost certainly open correctly in Tableau regardless of any deviations found. Args: file_path: Path to a .twb or .twbx file to check. If omitted, checks the currently open workbook (in memory). Returns: Informational summary of schema deviations (if any). |
| create_workbook | Create a new workbook from a TWB or TWBX template file. |
| open_workbook | Open an existing workbook (.twb or .twbx) for in-place worksheet editing. |

| list_worksheets | List worksheet names in the current workbook. |
| list_dashboards | List dashboards and their worksheet zones in the current workbook. |
| undo_last_change | Undo the last mutating operation, restoring the previous workbook state. |
| add_calculated_field | Add a calculated field to the datasource. |
| remove_calculated_field | Remove a previously added calculated field. |
| add_parameter | Add a parameter to the workbook. |

| get_active_rules | Return the active dashboard creation rules. Call this at the start of a session to understand what constraints are enforced. The rules engine validates every configure_chart and add_dashboard call — violations are returned as errors or warnings. Returns: Human-readable summary of all active rules. |
| set_rule | Set a specific rule value in the active dashboard rules. This allows admins to modify rules at runtime without editing YAML files. Changes persist for the current session and can be exported with export_rules(). Args: section: Rule section name. Options: "kpi" — KPI formatting (font_size, font_color, bold, row_height, max_kpis, default_format) "charts" — Chart defaults (max_charts, theme, bar_top_n, pie_max_slices) "layout" — Layout settings (width, height, background_color, card_background) "bar_chart_rules" — Bar chart enforcement "theme_rules" — Theme enforcement "map_rules" — Map chart enforcement key: The specific setting to change. Examples: "font_size", "max_charts", "theme", "background_color", "default_format" value: New value (string — will be auto-parsed to int/float/bool as needed). Examples: "28", "modern-dark", "#2D2D2D", "true", "$#,##0.00" Returns: Confirmation of the change or error message. |
| reset_rules | Reset all rules to the built-in defaults. Discards any runtime changes made via set_rule() and reloads the default rules from the package YAML file. Returns: Confirmation message. |
| export_rules | Export the current active rules to a YAML file. Saves the complete rules (including any runtime changes from set_rule()) to a YAML file that can be placed next to data files or in the working directory for future sessions. Args: output_path: Path to save the YAML file. Defaults to ./dashboard_rules.yaml in the current working directory. Returns: Path to the saved file and summary. |
| profile_data_source | Profile the currently connected data source. Works for ANY connection type: CSV extract, Hyper, MySQL, Tableau Server, Excel — anything that has fields in the workbook. The profile includes dimension/measure classification, semantic types, domain hints, and boolean signals that guide chart and template selection. Args: source_type: Override source detection. Usually "auto" which inspects the workbook fields. Other options: "csv", "hyper" (requires separate file path tools). Returns: Human-readable DataProfile with signals for template/chart decisions. |
| profile_csv | Profile a CSV file before connecting it. Unlike profile_data_source (which needs an active workbook), this tool profiles a raw CSV file directly. Args: csv_path: Path to the CSV file. sample_rows: Number of rows to sample for type inference. Returns: Human-readable DataProfile. |
| recommend_template | Score all gallery templates and recommend the best fit. Call this AFTER profiling the data source and deciding on chart types, but BEFORE creating the dashboard layout. The decider evaluates every template in the gallery against the data profile and chart mix, returning a ranked list with reasoning. Args: chart_types: Comma-separated list of chart mark_types being built. Example: "Bar,Line,Text,Text,Map" If omitted, uses only the data profile signals. kpi_count: Override KPI count (else derived from chart_types). Returns: Ranked template recommendations with scores and reasoning. |
| recommend_template_for_csv | Recommend templates for a CSV file (no active workbook needed). Args: csv_path: Path to the CSV file. chart_types: Comma-separated chart types (optional). sample_rows: Rows to sample for inference. Returns: Ranked template recommendations. |
| list_gallery_templates | List all templates in the gallery with suitability rules. Templates are user-editable YAML files in ``templates/gallery/``. Each template defines layout zones, suitability criteria, recommended themes, and auto-wired interaction actions. Returns: Formatted listing of all gallery templates. |
