## Agent prompt

Use Combined to analyze my BambooHR data.
List my granted sources, discover the datasets and describe their fields.
Look for datasets corresponding to custom_reports_stream, employees_directory_stream, meta_fields_stream, time_off_requests_stream, timesheet_entries, employees.
Check the last successful sync and report the available date coverage.
Propose three useful questions based on the fields actually available.
For the question I choose, run read-only SQL over the complete matching dataset.
Use a bounded result; include source names, time window and query receipt.
Ask for a missing join key or metric definition instead of inventing one.
