tableau-vds-to-cdw

tableau-vds-to-cdw is a skill for Claude Code from twells89/sigma-migration-skills. It costs 90 tokens per session (9,647 once invoked), scanned A, original, MIT.

A data-transfer workflow that reads a published Tableau data source through Tableau's data service and places the data in Snowflake or Databricks, cloud systems for storing and analyzing data.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it for one-time or scheduled transfers of published Tableau data into Snowflake or Databricks so Sigma can query the landed tables.
Why use it?
It removes the need to export Tableau data to CSV by hand before using it in Sigma, a data-analysis tool.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

tableau-vds-to-cdw scanned grade A with 1 finding against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 12d ago.

The scan reads SKILL.md. This mod also ships 2 executable files (scripts/test_vds_landing_lib.py, scripts/vds_landing_lib.py), listed below but not scanned — reading those needs a real analyzer, not pattern matching.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Tableau VDS → Cloud Data Warehouse (CDW)

Extract data from a published Tableau datasource via the VizQL Data Service (VDS) API and land it in a cloud data warehouse so Sigma can build on it. The Tableau/VDS extraction half is warehouse-agnostic — only the landing step changes per target.

Supported targets:

Target Landing mechanism Section
Snowflake Stored procedure + External Access Integration, scheduled with a Task Part A
Databricks Notebook on serverless compute + secret scope, scheduled with a Workflow Part B
BigQuery Not built yet — the extraction half ports directly; landing = a Cloud Function / scheduled query. File an issue if needed.

Both Snowflake and Databricks paths are validated end-to-end with parity verified in Sigma against the landed table (Superstore: 10,192 rows, exact on Technology/Office Supplies, expected null-key row-level drift on the total — see Column types).


When this skill applies (and when it doesn't) — shared

VDS only works against published Tableau datasources. If the workbook you care about uses an embedded extract (the common case for Tableau community samples and one-off "extract from CSV, dashboard on top" workbooks), VDS will not see it. mcp__tableau__list-datasources and search-content with contentTypes=["datasource"] only return published datasources — if the source you want isn't there, it's embedded.

To VDS an embedded extract, the workbook owner must first publish the datasource separately in Tableau Cloud (right-click datasource → Publish Data Source). That's a one-time UI step per datasource. After publishing, the datasource shows up via the MCP and VDS can read it.

Always check this before running the skill — surface the gap to the user rather than burning turns on a query that can't succeed.

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

tableau-vds-to-cdw is a skill published in the GitHub repository twells89/sigma-migration-skills (16 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed MIT. It adds 90 tokens to every session and 9,647 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 1 finding (makes network calls). No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
