## Agent prompt

Use Combined to analyze my Dust data.
List my granted sources, discover the datasets and describe their fields.
Look for datasets corresponding to usage_metrics, active_users, source, tool_usage, skill_usage, agents.
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.
