TS Profile Thoughtspot

ThoughtSpot Profile Setup

Manage ThoughtSpot connection profiles stored in a Snowflake table, credentials stored as Snowflake Secrets, and API access via External Access Integration. All credential storage uses Snowflake RBAC — secrets are never exposed in query history, logs, or conversation.

Ask one question at a time. Wait for each answer before moving on.

Prerequisites

This skill requires a database and schemas for storing profiles, secrets, and temporary procedures. Default location: SKILLS database.

CREATE DATABASE IF NOT EXISTS SKILLS;
CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS SKILLS.PUBLIC;
CREATE SCHEMA IF NOT EXISTS SKILLS.TEMP;

SKILLS.PUBLIC — permanent objects (profiles table, secrets, API procedures) SKILLS.TEMP — temporary objects created during conversion (cleaned up after)

Required Privileges

The user's current role needs these privileges.

Check current role

SELECT CURRENT_ROLE();

Minimum privileges needed

Quick setup (run as ACCOUNTADMIN)

GRANT USAGE ON DATABASE SKILLS TO ROLE SE_ROLE;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA SKILLS.PUBLIC TO ROLE SE_ROLE;
GRANT USAGE ON SCHEMA SKILLS.TEMP TO ROLE SE_ROLE;
GRANT CREATE TABLE ON SCHEMA SKILLS.PUBLIC TO ROLE SE_ROLE;
GRANT CREATE SECRET ON SCHEMA SKILLS.PUBLIC TO ROLE SE_ROLE;
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE ON SCHEMA SKILLS.PUBLIC TO ROLE SE_ROLE;
GRANT CREATE PROCEDURE ON SCHEMA SKILLS.TEMP TO ROLE SE_ROLE;
GRANT CREATE NETWORK RULE ON SCHEMA SKILLS.PUBLIC TO ROLE SE_ROLE;
GRANT CREATE SEMANTIC VIEW ON SCHEMA SKILLS.PUBLIC TO ROLE SE_ROLE;

Sharing profiles with other roles

GRANT SELECT ON TABLE SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES TO ROLE {other_role};
GRANT USAGE ON SECRET SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name} TO ROLE {other_role};

Entry Point

SELECT * FROM SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES;

If table does not exist or is empty: go directly to Add.

If profiles exist: show the menu.

ThoughtSpot Profiles

  1. {name}  —  {auth_type}  —  {base_url}  —  {token_status}
  ...

  L  List profiles
  A  Add a new profile
  U  Update a profile
  D  Delete a profile
  T  Test a profile
  Q  Quit

Enter L / A / U / D / T / Q:

L — List

SELECT
    name, base_url, username, auth_type, secret_name, token_expires_at,
    CASE WHEN auth_type = 'password' THEN 'PASSWORD_AUTH'
         WHEN token_expires_at <= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() THEN 'EXPIRED'
         WHEN token_expires_at <= TIMESTAMPADD('minute', 5, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()) THEN 'EXPIRING_SOON'
         ELSE 'VALID'
    END AS token_status,
    created_at, updated_at
FROM SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES;

Show each profile:

Profile: {name}
  URL:        {base_url}
  Username:   {username}
  Auth:       {auth_type}
  Secret:     {secret_name}
  Expires at: {token_expires_at} ({token_status})   ← omit for password profiles
  Created:    {created_at}
  Updated:    {updated_at}

A — Add

Step A1: Create the profiles table (if needed)

CREATE TABLE IF NOT EXISTS SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES (
    name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    base_url VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    username VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    auth_type VARCHAR NOT NULL DEFAULT 'token',
    secret_name VARCHAR NOT NULL,
    token_expires_at TIMESTAMP_NTZ,
    created_at TIMESTAMP_NTZ DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP(),
    updated_at TIMESTAMP_NTZ DEFAULT CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
);

Step A2: Collect connection details one at a time

ThoughtSpot URL (e.g. https://myorg.thoughtspot.cloud):

Strip trailing slash. Store as {base_url}.

⚠ Private IP validation: If the URL contains a private IP (e.g. 172.x.x.x, 10.x.x.x, 192.168.x.x), warn the user:

"Snowflake cannot reach private IP addresses from its cloud network. This will only work if you have AWS PrivateLink / Azure Private Link configured between Snowflake and your network. Do you want to continue?"

If the user confirms, proceed. Otherwise ask for a public hostname.

Username (email or local username):

Store as {username}.

Profile name: [Production]

Default to Production. Store as {profile_name}.

Step A2b: Choose authentication type

Authentication method:
  1  Bearer token (cloud clusters — recommended)
  2  Password (on-premise / IP-based clusters)

Enter 1 or 2:

Store as {auth_type}: token for option 1, password for option 2.

Step A3: Obtain credentials

If {auth_type} = token:

To get your token:
  1. Log into ThoughtSpot in your browser
  2. Click Develop in the top navigation
  3. Select REST Playground 2.0
  4. Expand the Authentication section
  5. Click Get Current User Token → Try it out → Execute
  6. Copy the token value AND the expiration_time_in_millis from the response body

Paste your token:

Store input as {token_value}. Never echo the token back to the user.

Then ask:

Paste the expiration_time_in_millis value (e.g. 1776293905878):

Store as {expiry_millis}.

If {auth_type} = password:

I'll need you to store your password as a Snowflake Secret (Step A5).
No token expiry tracking is needed — the password remains valid until changed.

Set {expiry_millis} to NULL.

Step A4: Derive names

From {profile_name}:

• {SLUG} — uppercase, non-alphanumeric → underscores, collapse multiples, strip ends e.g. "My Staging" → "MY_STAGING"
• {secret_name} → THOUGHTSPOT_TOKEN_{SLUG}

Step A5: Store credential as Snowflake Secret

SECURITY: The user must run this SQL themselves.

If {auth_type} = token:

Run this SQL to store your token securely. Replace <YOUR_TOKEN> with the token you copied:

  CREATE OR REPLACE SECRET SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name}
    TYPE = GENERIC_STRING
    SECRET_STRING = '<YOUR_TOKEN>'
    COMMENT = 'ThoughtSpot bearer token for profile: {profile_name}';

If {auth_type} = password:

Run this SQL to store your password securely. Replace <YOUR_PASSWORD> with your ThoughtSpot password:

  CREATE OR REPLACE SECRET SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name}
    TYPE = GENERIC_STRING
    SECRET_STRING = '<YOUR_PASSWORD>'
    COMMENT = 'ThoughtSpot password for profile: {profile_name}';

IMPORTANT: Do NOT execute this SQL on the user's behalf with the actual credential.

After confirmation, verify:

SHOW SECRETS LIKE '{secret_name}' IN SCHEMA SKILLS.PUBLIC;

Step A6: Save profile

DELETE FROM SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES WHERE name = '{profile_name}';

-- For token auth:
INSERT INTO SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES (name, base_url, username, auth_type, secret_name, token_expires_at)
SELECT '{profile_name}', '{base_url}', '{username}', '{auth_type}', '{secret_name}',
       TO_TIMESTAMP({expiry_millis}::NUMBER / 1000);

-- For password auth (expiry is NULL):
INSERT INTO SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES (name, base_url, username, auth_type, secret_name, token_expires_at)
SELECT '{profile_name}', '{base_url}', '{username}', 'password', '{secret_name}', NULL;

Step A7: Set up External Access Integration

Extract the hostname from {base_url} (e.g. champagne-master-aws.thoughtspotstaging.cloud).

Create or update the network rule:

IMPORTANT — Multi-profile support: The network rule must include hostnames for ALL existing profiles, not just the new one. First query existing profiles:

SELECT DISTINCT base_url FROM SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES;

Extract all hostnames (including the new one) and include them all:

CREATE OR REPLACE NETWORK RULE SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_API_RULE
  MODE = EGRESS
  TYPE = HOST_PORT
  VALUE_LIST = ('{hostname_1}', '{hostname_2}', ...);

Create the External Access Integration (requires ACCOUNTADMIN):

Check if it already exists:

SHOW EXTERNAL ACCESS INTEGRATIONS LIKE 'THOUGHTSPOT_API_ACCESS';

If not found, instruct the user to run as ACCOUNTADMIN (in a separate worksheet if the current session cannot switch roles):

USE ROLE ACCOUNTADMIN;

-- Include ALL secrets from ALL profiles:
CREATE OR REPLACE EXTERNAL ACCESS INTEGRATION THOUGHTSPOT_API_ACCESS
  ALLOWED_NETWORK_RULES = (SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_API_RULE)
  ALLOWED_AUTHENTICATION_SECRETS = (SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_1}, SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_2}, ...)
  ENABLED = TRUE;

GRANT USAGE ON INTEGRATION THOUGHTSPOT_API_ACCESS TO ROLE {user_role};

After confirmation, verify:

SHOW EXTERNAL ACCESS INTEGRATIONS LIKE 'THOUGHTSPOT_API_ACCESS';

Step A8: Install stored procedures

The stored procedures are managed by /ts-setup-sv. After completing Step A7, prompt the user:

Profile '{profile_name}' is configured. Would you like to install or upgrade the
ThoughtSpot stored procedures now? (yes/no)

If yes, run /ts-setup-sv. It will automatically detect the new profile's secret and embed it in all three procedures (TS_SEARCH_MODELS, TS_EXPORT_TML, TS_IMPORT_TML).

If no, remind the user:

You can run /ts-setup-sv at any time to install the procedures. They are required
before using /ts-convert-to-snowflake-sv or /ts-convert-from-snowflake-sv.

Step A9: Confirm

ThoughtSpot profile '{profile_name}' configured.
  Secret:     SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name}
  URL:        {base_url}
  Expires at: {token_expires_at}   (omit for password auth)
  Integration: THOUGHTSPOT_API_ACCESS

Next step: run /ts-setup-sv to install stored procedures.

U — Update

Show numbered profile list and ask which to update. Then show options:

  1  URL
  2  Username
  3  Refresh token (token auth — provide a new one)
  4  Update password (password auth — provide a new one)

Enter 1–4:

Only show option 3 for auth_type = 'token' profiles. Only show option 4 for auth_type = 'password' profiles.

U1 — Update URL

UPDATE SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES
SET base_url = '{new_base_url}', updated_at = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
WHERE name = '{profile_name}';

Also update the network rule if the hostname changed:

CREATE OR REPLACE NETWORK RULE SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_API_RULE
  MODE = EGRESS TYPE = HOST_PORT VALUE_LIST = ('{new_hostname}');

U2 — Update Username

UPDATE SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES
SET username = '{new_username}', updated_at = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
WHERE name = '{profile_name}';

U3 — Refresh Token

Your ThoughtSpot token has expired or needs refreshing.

To get a new token:
  1. Log into ThoughtSpot → Develop → REST Playground 2.0
  2. Authentication → Get Current User Token → Execute
  3. Copy the new token AND the expiration_time_in_millis value

Run this SQL to update. Replace <YOUR_NEW_TOKEN> with your new token:

  CREATE OR REPLACE SECRET SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name}
    TYPE = GENERIC_STRING
    SECRET_STRING = '<YOUR_NEW_TOKEN>'
    COMMENT = 'ThoughtSpot bearer token for profile: {profile_name}';

After confirmation, ask for the new expiration_time_in_millis and update:

UPDATE SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES
SET token_expires_at = TO_TIMESTAMP({expiry_millis}::NUMBER / 1000),
    updated_at = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
WHERE name = '{profile_name}';

Also update the External Access Integration to reference the new secret (requires ACCOUNTADMIN):

ALTER EXTERNAL ACCESS INTEGRATION THOUGHTSPOT_API_ACCESS
  SET ALLOWED_AUTHENTICATION_SECRETS = (SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name});

U4 — Update Password

For auth_type = 'password' profiles:

Run this SQL to update your password. Replace <YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD> with your new ThoughtSpot password:

  CREATE OR REPLACE SECRET SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name}
    TYPE = GENERIC_STRING
    SECRET_STRING = '<YOUR_NEW_PASSWORD>'
    COMMENT = 'ThoughtSpot password for profile: {profile_name}';

Also update the External Access Integration to reference the refreshed secret (requires ACCOUNTADMIN):

ALTER EXTERNAL ACCESS INTEGRATION THOUGHTSPOT_API_ACCESS
  SET ALLOWED_AUTHENTICATION_SECRETS = (SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name});

Update the profile timestamp:

UPDATE SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES
SET updated_at = CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()
WHERE name = '{profile_name}';

D — Delete

Confirm, then:

DROP SECRET IF EXISTS SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name};
DELETE FROM SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES WHERE name = '{profile_name}';

T — Test

Check token status and verify secret is accessible:

SELECT
    name, auth_type,
    token_expires_at,
    CASE WHEN auth_type = 'password' THEN 'PASSWORD_AUTH'
         WHEN token_expires_at <= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() THEN 'EXPIRED'
         WHEN token_expires_at <= TIMESTAMPADD('minute', 5, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()) THEN 'EXPIRING_SOON'
         ELSE 'VALID'
    END AS token_status
FROM SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES
WHERE name = '{profile_name}';

If VALID, run a test search:

CALL SKILLS.PUBLIC.TS_SEARCH_MODELS('{profile_name}', ARRAY_CONSTRUCT(), TRUE);

On success:

Profile '{name}' — connected and verified.
  Token status: VALID (expires {token_expires_at})
  Found {count} models owned by {username}

Token Expiry Handling

Check token expiry before making any API call (token auth profiles only):

SELECT
    name, auth_type, token_expires_at,
    CASE WHEN auth_type = 'password' THEN 'PASSWORD_AUTH'
         WHEN token_expires_at <= CURRENT_TIMESTAMP() THEN 'EXPIRED'
         WHEN token_expires_at <= TIMESTAMPADD('minute', 5, CURRENT_TIMESTAMP()) THEN 'EXPIRING_SOON'
         ELSE 'VALID'
    END AS token_status
FROM SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES
WHERE name = '{profile_name}';

• PASSWORD_AUTH: No expiry check needed — proceed with API calls
• EXPIRED or EXPIRING_SOON: Prompt user to refresh (U → Refresh token)
• VALID: Proceed with API calls

Cleanup

Temp schema cleanup (after each conversion)

After completing a model conversion, drop all temporary objects in SKILLS.TEMP:

SHOW PROCEDURES IN SCHEMA SKILLS.TEMP;
SHOW VIEWS IN SCHEMA SKILLS.TEMP;
SHOW TABLES IN SCHEMA SKILLS.TEMP;
-- Drop each one individually

Full removal

DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS SKILLS.PUBLIC.TS_SEARCH_MODELS(VARCHAR, ARRAY, BOOLEAN);
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS SKILLS.PUBLIC.TS_EXPORT_TML(VARCHAR, ARRAY);
DROP PROCEDURE IF EXISTS SKILLS.PUBLIC.TS_IMPORT_TML(VARCHAR, ARRAY, BOOLEAN);
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS SKILLS.PUBLIC.SP_VERSIONS;
DROP TABLE IF EXISTS SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_PROFILES;
DROP NETWORK RULE IF EXISTS SKILLS.PUBLIC.THOUGHTSPOT_API_RULE;
-- Drop secrets:
SHOW SECRETS IN SCHEMA SKILLS.PUBLIC;
-- Then: DROP SECRET SKILLS.PUBLIC.{secret_name};
-- Drop integration (requires ACCOUNTADMIN):
-- DROP INTEGRATION THOUGHTSPOT_API_ACCESS;
-- Drop schemas:
DROP SCHEMA IF EXISTS SKILLS.TEMP;
