8 of 15 tools do, according to their public docs, and 4 partly.

Yes: Databricks, Snowflake, Omni, Hex, Sigma, Looker, Metabase, Alteryx. Partly: BigQuery, Tableau, MotherDuck, Redshift.

The question we asked: Can an agent do something beyond answering, write back, notify, call another system?

Grading standard

yes: a built-in agent can, on its own, cause a named side effect outside the analytics content: send a message or notification, call a webhook or another system, or write data to a destination. Writing to the product's own dashboards or notebooks does not count. Generating code a person must then run is partly.
