FAQ
Product
Section titled “Product”Isn’t this just another catalog? No — catalogs are where you put context, and it goes stale. The Data Context Wizard is the layer a governed fleet keeps alive; it gets smarter every run. The Spellbook Data Catalog is the receipt surface where humans stay in command of that fleet — not a system of record you maintain by hand.
Which coding agents are supported? Four first-class: Claude Code, Cursor, Codex CLI, OpenCode. Anything MCP-capable works via the generic recipe.
Which model do the agents use? Yours. Bring your own key — Anthropic, OpenAI, Bedrock, Azure, or open-weight/local models — at every plan level. We never resell tokens or add margin to your provider’s rate.
How many connectors? 50+ across the stack — the full list. We don’t imply they’re all equally deep; maturity varies by connector and the live verification test tells the truth per system.
Do you support Atlan, Alation, or Collibra? Not natively today. The straight answer and three workarounds.
What’s your traction? We’re an early-stage company running free pilots, and we don’t invent numbers. We lead with mechanism, not curve: install it on sample data in two minutes and judge the product, not the logo wall.
Is it secure / compliant? Security capabilities — RBAC-aware retrieval, PII scrubbing, tenant isolation, hash-chained audit — are built capabilities (Enterprise-gated where noted). Certification status: SOC 2 Type II — in progress, stated plainly on Compliance status.
What can Data Workers see? On local installs: nothing — credentials and data stay on your machines. Hosted surfaces keep usage counters only. Precisely documented in How your data is handled and Usage data & telemetry.
What happens if you go away? The agent core is Apache 2.0 — self-hosted, modifiable, yours forever. Your data never lived with us, and the context graph exports to DataHub or OpenMetadata.
Pricing
Section titled “Pricing”What does it cost? Pilots are free — 90 days, the full Scale surface, no card. Scale is a flat annual platform fee with unlimited seats; Enterprise is custom. No credits, no per-seat charges, no usage meter: your bill does not move when your agents work harder. Details: Your plan · numbers: talk to us.
Do agents run up a bill when they work autonomously? Not with us — there is no usage meter to run up. Your model provider bills you for tokens at your rate; per-user model budgets and open-weight models are the levers you control.
Operations
Section titled “Operations”Can agents break my production systems? Read agents are structurally read-only. Write agents need explicitly enabled, write-scoped credentials, every governed write carries a receipt, and irreversible actions always require approval — enforced in code. See Least-privilege access.
Something’s showing sample data instead of my data. That’s the 🟡 Evaluation state — the system isn’t connected, or the connection hasn’t been verified. Verify your setup explains the states; Troubleshooting covers the common causes.
How do I report a bug or ask for a feature? Right here — humans and AI agents both welcome.
