Release Notes for Agent Studio
September 8, 2026
Expanded Toolsets Available for Alteryx MCP Server
This update expands the Alteryx MCP Server from 2 toolsets to 7. With the new toolsets, AI agents can search Alteryx knowledge sources, validate formulas, discover workspace assets, work with datasets directly, and build or run Designer workflows in the cloud. This update also adds new capabilities to the existing Insights toolset.
What's included:
Knowledge: Use the Knowledge toolset so an agent can search Alteryx knowledge sources, such as Help documentation and Knowledge Base content, for relevant product information.
Formula Service: Use Formula Service to validate and parse a formula against the available fields.
Assets: Use Assets to search Alteryx One assets that the authenticated user can access. An agent can discover an asset and review it before acting on it through another toolset.
Datasets: Use the Datasets toolset to preview datasets, retrieve schema information, and create new empty datasets.
Designer: Use the Designer toolset so an agent can create, update, run, and inspect Designer workflows stored in the Alteryx One Library. Input and output configurations are limited to Alteryx One datasets because Designer workflows run in a cloud environment.
Insights: Added new capabilities for the existing Insights toolset. Agents can now retrieve individual data rows from a dataset, calculate variance against a goal, resolve a natural-language date period into a usable analysis period, and show total-level outliers.

Introducing Agent Studio
Agent Studio is a new module in Alteryx One for creating AI-powered analytic experiences. Use Agent Studio to build Alteryx Agents, connect external AI apps to Alteryx One data, and prepare datasets, workflows, and analytic apps for AI use.
What's included:
Alteryx Agents: Build an agent to answer natural-language questions about your datasets. Select 1 or more datasets, add custom instructions and starter prompts to guide the agent's responses, and preview the agent before you share it. Agents can return trend analysis, root cause analysis, common cause analysis, and outlier detection.
Alteryx MCP Server: Connect a supported external AI app or MCP client to your Alteryx One datasets, workflows, and analytic apps.
External Marketplace Apps: Ask questions about Alteryx One datasets from the Alteryx Insights plugin for ChatGPT or the Alteryx AI Insights agent for Gemini Enterprise.
Set Up Assets: Prepare datasets, workflows, and analytic apps for use in Alteryx Agents or connected MCP clients.
