Which BI tools let one AI agent delegate to another?
3 of 15 tools do, according to their public docs, and 3 partly.
Yes: Databricks, Snowflake, Sigma. Partly: BigQuery, Tableau, Power BI.
The question we asked: Can a customer configure one agent to delegate a bounded analytical task to another named agent?
Grading standard
A customer can configure one agent to delegate a bounded analytical task to another named agent with explicit tools and permissions. Hidden implementation subagents do not count.
