## What it does

**Writes code** · Partly — SpotterCode generates embedded-analytics integration code in the IDE, but only ThoughtSpot SDK, auth and theming work rather than general application code.

> Skip weeks of SDK ramp-up. SpotterCode writes the integration, configures auth, and sets up your cluster without leaving the editor.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents/spottercode · Less Coding. More Shipping. section, 'Accelerate Your Path To Production' card

**Debugs and fixes** · Partly — SpotterCode is described as helping developers troubleshoot embedded analytics as they code; the vendor never claims it diagnoses a failure and lands the fix itself.

> SpotterCode helps you generate, configure, and troubleshoot embedded analytics as you code.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents/spottercode · Built For Real Development Workflows section, intro paragraph

**Whole-codebase work** · Partly — SpotterCode reads the surrounding project structure to keep suggestions consistent, but the vendor claims no repository-wide migration or multi-file refactor capability.

> Suggestions read your project structure and follow current SDK conventions, so implementations stay maintainable as adoption grows.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents/spottercode · 'Patterns That Scale Scale With You' card

**Ships it** · Partly — The coding agent executes REST and cluster operations from the editor, yet every code change it proposes waits for a developer to approve it rather than shipping itself.

> Your team reviews, refines, and approves every change SpotterCode proposes.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents/spottercode · Everything You Need To Embed With Confidence section, 'Developer control by default' card

**Done-for-you service** · No — ThoughtSpot sells software a customer runs itself: self-serve Essentials and Pro plans with free trials, not a team doing client work for you.

> Unified platform to power trusted insights across analytics, applications, and workflows.

## How much it does unattended

**Runs autonomously** · Partly — Read-only analysis runs without a human, but any agent action that writes to or deletes in another application is held for user approval.

> Read-only tools run freely. Anything that writes to or deletes from another app waits for a user to approve it.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents · Production-Ready. Enterprise-Grade. section, 'Human in the Loop' card

**Multi-agent** · Partly — Four named agents cover different stages of the analytics workflow on shared semantics, but the vendor does not claim they coordinate on a single task.

> Every agent runs on the same semantic layer and the same security model, so speed never costs you control.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents · Production-Ready. Enterprise-Grade. section, intro line

**Agent permissions** · Partly — Agents inherit role-based, row- and column-level security with no extra setup, and writes elsewhere need approval, so autonomy is bounded by existing data permissions.

> Role-based access plus row-level and column-level security apply to every agent, with no new rules to set up.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents · Production-Ready. Enterprise-Grade. section, 'Built-in Governance' card

## Which models it runs on

**Claude** · Yes — Anthropic Claude is among the LLMs the platform uses, reached through Google Vertex AI rather than contracted directly by the buyer.

> Google Vertex AI LLMs, including Gemini and Anthropic Claude
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/trust/enterprise-grade-ai · AI You Can Trust, item 5 'AI used by ThoughtSpot Agentic Analytics Platform' list

**GPT** · Yes — GPT models are used via Microsoft Azure OpenAI, listed by the vendor as part of the platform's disclosed model set.

> Microsoft Azure OpenAI GPT LLMs
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/trust/enterprise-grade-ai · AI You Can Trust, item 5 'AI used by ThoughtSpot Agentic Analytics Platform' list

**Open models** · Partly — Open-weight Mistral is reachable only through Snowflake Cortex AI; the vendor documents no way to point the platform at a model you host yourself.

> Snowflake Cortex AI LLMs, including Mistral
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/trust/enterprise-grade-ai · AI You Can Trust, item 5 'AI used by ThoughtSpot Agentic Analytics Platform' list

**Model choice** · Partly — You can bring your own model through five named clouds, but the plan table lists 'Flexible LLM selection' only against Enterprise, so entry tiers take managed models.

> Use ThoughtSpot-managed models, or bring your own through Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Databricks, Vertex AI, or Snowflake Cortex.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents · Production-Ready. Enterprise-Grade. section, 'LLM Flexibility' card

## Where you use it

**In your editor** · Yes — SpotterCode is installed as an MCP server in AI-native IDEs including Cursor and Visual Studio Code, working on your open project.

> This guide walks you through the process of adding SpotterCode to your AI-native IDE.
> — https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/integrate-SpotterCode · Integrate SpotterCode with your IDE, opening sentence

**On the command line** · Partly — There is no ThoughtSpot CLI of its own; the terminal route is registering the SpotterCode MCP server inside the Claude Code command line.

> For the Claude Code-only setup, you must manually point Claude Code to the SpotterCode MCP server via CLI.
> — https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/integrate-SpotterCode · Integrate SpotterCode with Claude section

**In your pipeline** · Partly — Bearer-token auth exists specifically for CI/CD use, but the vendor claims no pull-request review or pipeline action by the agent itself.

> For programmatic or CI/CD scenarios where an MCP client cannot perform an interactive login, SpotterCode accepts a bearer token directly
> — https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/integrate-SpotterCode · Authentication, 'Bearer token authentication' subsection

**In a browser** · Yes — The core product is a hosted web application, ThoughtSpot Cloud, with Liveboards, search and Spotter chat in the browser plus iOS and Android apps.

> ThoughtSpot Cloud is AI-powered analytics that puts self-service analysis in the hands of everyone in your organization—no SQL or data expertise required.
> — https://docs.thoughtspot.com/cloud/26.10.0.cl/ · ThoughtSpot Cloud Documentation, opening paragraph

## What it costs to run

**How it meters** · Yes — Two published models: per user per month on Essentials and Pro, or consumption priced per credit if you pick the Usage pricing option.

> Starting as low as $0.10 Per credit
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/pricing · Plan card, PRO selected with the Data Pricing control set to Usage

**Free tier** · Partly — You can start without a sales call on a 14-day trial with no card, and the Embedded Developer plan is free for a year, but no plan stays free afterwards.

> Start your 14-day free trial No credit card required
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/trial · Trial sign-up page heading and subheading

**API access** · Yes — A documented REST API v2.0 covers metadata, data, users, orgs and audit logs, with TypeScript, Java, C# and Python SDKs; embedding for internal apps is an add-on on Analytics plans.

> To export the TML representation of the metadata objects from ThoughtSpot in JSON or YAML format, use the following endpoint
> — https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/tml-export · Export TML, opening instructions

**MCP server** · Partly — A hosted Spotter MCP server lets Claude, ChatGPT or a custom client query governed data, but it is sold as an add-on limited to Enterprise and Embedded licences.

> ThoughtSpot Spotter MCP Server is available as an add-on with the following license plans: ThoughtSpot Enterprise Edition, ThoughtSpot Embedded
> — https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/mcp-integration · Spotter MCP Server license section

**Bring your own key** · Partly — You may connect your own governed model through Bedrock, Azure OpenAI, Databricks, Vertex AI or Snowflake Cortex, and then that provider bills you separately.

> Connect the model you already trust and govern. Conversation monitoring shows what was asked, what was answered, and how it was produced.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents/spotter · Production-Ready, Enterprise-Grade section, 'Bring Your Own LLM' card

## Buying it for a team

**A company can buy it** · Yes — Plans are sold to organisations with user floors and ceilings, multi-tenant Orgs and an Enterprise tier quoted per deployment rather than to individuals.

> Custom pricing tailored to your teams, data, and deployment needs.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/pricing · Plan card, ENTERPRISE selected on the ThoughtSpot Analytics tab

**Seat model** · Yes — Seats carry both a floor and a ceiling: Essentials runs from 5 to 50 users, Pro up to 1000 users, and only Enterprise is unlimited.

> From 5 to 50 users
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/pricing · Plan card, ESSENTIALS selected, feature list

**Pooled budget** · Partly — Under user pricing each seat gets its own Spotter allowance of 25 queries a month; the alternative Usage model bills a shared credit balance instead.

> Spotter AI Agents (25 queries/month per user)
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/pricing · Plan card, PRO selected with Data Pricing set to User, feature list

**Admin controls** · Yes — Administrators switch AI features on selectively with granular permissions, and data security rules at object, column and row level constrain what agents can reach.

> You enable AI features in the ThoughtSpot Agentic Analytics Platform as desired, using granular permissions and controls ensuring AI is used the way you want.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/trust/enterprise-grade-ai · AI You Can Trust, item 3

**Audit log** · Yes — Security audit logs record logins, user and Org changes and CRUD operations, and can be pulled by REST API or pushed to your own SIEM.

> ThoughtSpot Cloud logs events related to user activities, account authentication, and CRUD operations.
> — https://developers.thoughtspot.com/docs/audit-logs · Audit logs, opening paragraph

**Single sign-on** · Partly — SAML, OAuth and OIDC sign-on is supported, but the plan comparison shows it checked only against Pro and Enterprise, not the entry Essentials tier.

> ThoughtSpot supports multi-factored authentication and single-sign on via SAML and OIDC compliance identity providers.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/trust/security · Customer Control section, 'Secure Authentication'

## What happens to your code

**Opt out of training** · Yes — No opt-out is needed: the vendor states customer data is never retained by the LLM or used for model training, and provider models delete data after processing.

> Your data is never retained by the LLM or used to train models.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/product/agents · Production-Ready. Enterprise-Grade. section, 'Data Privacy' card

**Data residency** · Yes — Customers choose a residency region for the hosted deployment, with single-tenant and customer-managed key options named for Spotter.

> ThoughtSpot understands the importance of data residency and offers options to select data residency regions based on your organization's needs and compliance requirements.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/trust/security · Customer Control section, 'Flexible Data Residency Options'

**Getting out** · Partly — Content and models export as TML through documented REST endpoints and data is removed on termination, but nothing is published about expiry of unused usage credits.

> If you decide to no longer use ThoughtSpot, we ensure a secure and complete removal of all your data and your ThoughtSpot environment from our systems.
> — https://www.thoughtspot.com/trust/security · Secure By Design section, 'Account Termination'

**Certifications** · Yes — The vendor lists SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001 and CSA Star Level 1 certifications, with GDPR, HIPAA and DPF commitments on the Trust Center.

> We adhere to rigorous industry standards which are demonstrated through the security controls and compliance certifications we maintain, including: SOC 1, SOC 2, SOC 3, ISO 27001 and CSA Star Level 1.
