A read-only analysis starts with saved Model content. Inspect existing Table Blocks, Variables, Scenarios, and source information without creating a new calculation.

​
Read a saved Table Block

Use inspect_table_blocks with the table that contains the values:
Copy row and column references from the response when narrowing a follow-up to a visible row, cell, or subtree.

​
Compare or rank existing values

Use the saved table’s existing Scenario or time comparison when it already answers the question. For a top-items question, pass the supported rank argument to inspect_table_blocks with exactly one saved Table Block.
Historical reads use as_of_point against the same saved table and the same target. That keeps the before-and-after comparison tied to one stable artifact.

​
Validate without applying a change

When the user asks whether a proposed formula would be accepted, use dry_run: true on a supported edit_table_blocks or edit_variables formula write. The result validates the proposed write without saving it. A dry run checks the write. It does not create a new calculated series to inspect.

​
Create a result only when authorized

A new ratio, signal, or comparison that does not already exist needs a saved visible Model artifact. If the user authorizes that work, use edit_table_blocks to add a row and its initial formula, then inspect the saved result. If the user asked for no Model changes, explain the existing information you can answer from and identify the saved change a new calculation would require.
