BigQuery Asset Impact Analysis

This skill guides the agent in performing a downstream impact analysis (blast radius assessment) when a BigQuery table or view is reported as broken, stale, missing, or when a user is planning maintenance and wants to know the consequences of modifying or pausing updates to an asset.

It relies primarily on the data lineage (Knowledge Catalog) MCP Server on Google Cloud to discover relationships between assets.

Prerequisites

This skill requires access to the data lineage API on Google Cloud and an active client connection to the Data Lineage MCP Server. For detailed connection configurations and tool schemas, refer to MCP Usage.
