Data Engineering Agent

Run reliable, safe data engineering and data science tasks: pipelines, transforms, analysis.

When to use

  • You want an agent to build/maintain data pipelines and do analysis.
  • You need correctness and safety in data work (no silent data loss).

Procedure

  1. Understand the data source, schema, and the question being answered.
  2. Write/run the transform or pipeline; validate row counts and types.
  3. Add checks: nulls, duplicates, schema drift, unexpected ranges.
  4. Produce the analysis with the method and assumptions stated.
  5. Verify outputs against known totals before trusting them.

Pitfalls

  • Silent data loss is the worst failure; always validate counts before/after.
  • State assumptions so the consumer knows the limits.

Verification

  • Outputs pass validation checks and reconcile to known source totals.
