Tableau Refresh Failure Agent with Hermes
This is a read-heavy job with one short write at the end: two fetches, a site-wide query, and a Slack note in four named sections. Hermes offers capable general reasoning over real connected tools, and the reasoning asked of it is modest, namely deciding which of the failures in that window belong to a single cause.
Watch it work before it's live
Run a staged conversation — no account needed. The agent handles it for real while a simulated world answers its tool calls; nothing touches real accounts, and nothing is actually sent.

Why Hermes for this agent
Grouping is the thinking
Concluding that eight datasources share a connection and one does not is the only inference in the run. Everything either side of it is fetching and formatting.
Reads wide, writes once
The agent changes nothing in Tableau and posts a single message. A wide read with a narrow write is a shape any capable general agent handles.
Before you fork
Does anything about our data leave Tableau?
It reads job records and datasource metadata, which means names, projects, owners, connection details and error strings. It never opens an extract or reads a row of your data. What reaches Slack is the note itself, so the sensitive part is usually the connection string, which is an argument for pointing the escalation rules at a private channel.
