ANALYTICS
Velocity5.0

End-to-end data operations platform for pipelines, transformations and orchestration

Keboola adds dark mode while it tightens the MCP server and retires idle workspaces.

data-platformmcpai-assistantgovernanceux
◆Current state
Keboola's recent releases split between hygiene and AI-agent safety. The MCP server's query_data tool is now read-only, emailing API tokens is being retired, and idle Snowflake and BigQuery workspaces will be deactivated from 9 November. On the user side, data apps start faster on pre-built images, Kai gained shared team memory, and the UI now has dark mode.
◆Where it's heading
The platform is limiting what agents and stale resources can do while making its AI assistant and apps quicker to use. The pattern is deliberate cleanup ahead of wider agent usage, not new surface area.
◆Prediction
Expect more guardrails around the MCP server and Kai, such as tighter scopes or approvals, alongside further deprecation notices with fixed dates.

    Unused Workspaces Will Be Cleaned Up Automatically

    From 9 November, Snowflake and BigQuery workspaces unused for six months will be deactivated and then deleted, with email warnings. It cuts idle cost and is part of the same hygiene push as the token-email removal.

    Keboola MCP Server: query_data Runs Read-Only Queries Only

    The MCP server's query_data tool now runs read-only queries only; table changes must go through SQL transformations. It limits what an agent can do through MCP to reads.

    Kai remembers what matters: shared team memory

    Kai can store a company rule once and, after admin approval, apply it in every teammate's chats. Shared memory with an approval step fits the platform's governed approach to AI.
