Airflow Operations

Use the Airflow VS Code extension tools for all Airflow interactions. Avoid shell commands for Airflow operations.

User Intent Patterns

DAG Operations

• "List all DAGs" -> list_active_dags and list_paused_dags
• "Show DAG source" -> get_dag_source_code
• "Pause DAG X" -> pause_dag
• "Resume DAG X" -> unpause_dag

Run Operations

• "Trigger DAG X" -> trigger_dag_run
• "Show recent runs" -> get_dag_runs
• "Why did this fail?" -> analyse_dag_latest_run or get_dag_run_detail

Logs and Troubleshooting

• "Show logs for task" -> go_to_dag_log_view or analyse_dag_latest_run
• "Analyze latest run" -> analyse_dag_latest_run

System and Config

• "Show connections" -> go_to_connections_view
• "Show variables" -> go_to_variables_view
• "Check server health" -> go_to_server_health_view

Common Workflows

Investigate a Failed Run

1. Find failures: get_failed_runs
2. Analyze latest run: analyse_dag_latest_run
3. If a specific run ID is known: get_dag_run_detail
4. Open logs if needed: go_to_dag_log_view

Trigger and Monitor

1. Trigger: trigger_dag_run
2. Check status: get_dag_runs
3. Analyze if failed: analyse_dag_latest_run

Morning Health Check

1. Check server health: go_to_server_health_view
2. Check running DAGs: get_running_dags
3. Review recent failures: get_failed_runs
