BigQuery vs ToolJet: at a glance
What is BigQuery?
BigQuery is making itself agent-callable and pulling inference inside the SQL boundary.
Two GA milestones define the current position: the BigQuery MCP server, and the managed AI functions AI.IF, AI.SCORE and AI.CLASSIFY that run Gemini from inside a query. Alongside them, BigQuery Graph entered preview, and a steady GA cadence continues across sharing listings, materialized views over CDC tables, Snowflake transfers, code-asset folders and Dataform's strict act-as enforcement.
What is ToolJet?
ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.
ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.

BigQuery is making itself agent-callable and pulling inference inside the SQL boundary.
◆ Current state
Two GA milestones define the current position: the BigQuery MCP server, and the managed AI functions AI.IF, AI.SCORE and AI.CLASSIFY that run Gemini from inside a query. Alongside them, BigQuery Graph entered preview, and a steady GA cadence continues across sharing listings, materialized views over CDC tables, Snowflake transfers, code-asset folders and Dataform's strict act-as enforcement.
◆ Where it's heading
The warehouse is being repositioned as something agents call and models run inside, not a destination that pipelines feed. MCP handles the calling side; the AI functions handle the execution side; strict act-as and folder-level access handle the governance the first two make urgent.
◆ Prediction
Expect the governance layer to develop fastest from here — finer control over what an agent can query and what inference it may run — since that is the constraint GA on both fronts now exposes.
ToolJet
5.0INFRA · APIS
ToolJet ships AI Builder release 4 to its LTS line, with Gemini 4 Argon support.
◆ Current state
ToolJet's LTS v3.20.250 brings AI Builder release 4 into the enterprise edition, with cancellation handling and Gemini 4 Argon as a model option; v3.20.248 added workspace MCP OAuth with SSO login. The beta line spent the week on Node 22.23.4 for the October security release, file-permission and license-check fixes, a page-panel crash fix, and an environment flag that limits ToolJet Database edits to admins.
◆ Where it's heading
The AI Builder work that sat in beta is now reaching LTS customers, alongside MCP connections that respect SSO. Most other changes on both lines are security bumps and hardening, which fits a product selling to enterprises that run the LTS track.
◆ Prediction
Expect AI Builder to keep adding models and EE controls on LTS, and more admin-level permission flags like the database-edit restriction.
