Validate Project

Skill for ensuring Lightdash project health and content integrity through automated validation.

Purpose

Enables administrative checks on project content to identify broken charts, dashboards, or semantic layer issues.

Tools

Wraps the following MCP tools from the lightdash server:

• •lightdash_tools__validate_project
• •lightdash_tools__get_validation_results

Safety Mode Compliance

• •Read-Only Tools: Both tools in this skill are considered safe for read-only mode as they do not mutate project state or data warehouse assets.

Behavior

1. •Validation Workflow:
   • •Trigger a validation job for a specific project using validate_project.
   • •Monitor the job or retrieve the latest results using get_validation_results.
2. •Analysis:
   • •Parse validation results to identify specific broken assets (charts, dashboards).
   • •Report errors with context (asset name, space, error message).

Rules

• •ALWAYS include the asset name and specific error message when reporting validation failures.
• •Group errors by space or asset type to improve readability for developers.
