Manage BigQuery datasets, tables, views, and jobs, and run SQL queries for basic data analysis. Provides setup examples and references for data ingestion, command-line operations, client libraries, access permissions, and infrastructure configuration.
Manages datasets, tables, and jobs in BigQuery. Use when you need to interact with BigQuery, run SQL queries, manage BigQuery resources (datasets, tables, views), or perform basic data ingestion and analysis.
Review the instructions the agent will receive before you install.
BigQuery is a serverless, AI-ready data platform that enables high-speed analysis of large datasets using SQL and Python. Its disaggregated architecture separates compute and storage, allowing them to scale independently while providing built-in machine learning, geospatial analysis, and business intelligence capabilities.
For all gcloud CLI, REST API, and MCP attribution requirements when executing
commands with this skill, follow the instructions in
Usage Attribution.
Enable the BigQuery API:
CLOUDSDK_METRICS_REQUEST_ATTRIBUTION="agent-skills/1.0 (skill:bigquery-basics)" \
gcloud services enable bigquery.googleapis.com --quiet
Create a Dataset:
bq mk --dataset --location=US my_dataset
Create a Table:
Create a file named schema.json with your table schema:
[
{
"name": "name",
"type": "STRING",
"mode": "REQUIRED"
},
{
"name": "post_abbr",
"type": "STRING",
"mode": "NULLABLE"
}
]
Then create the table with the bq tool:
bq mk --table my_dataset.mytable schema.json
Run a Query:
bq query --use_legacy_sql=false \
'SELECT name FROM `bigquery-public-data.usa_names.usa_1910_2013` \
WHERE state = "TX" LIMIT 10'
Core Concepts: Storage types, analytics workflows, and BigQuery Studio features.
Change History: Tracking and querying incremental table changes using APPENDS and CHANGES.
Continuous Queries: Running continuous SQL statements to analyze incoming data in real time.
CLI Usage: Essential bq command-line tool
operations for managing data and jobs.
Client Libraries: Using Google Cloud client libraries for Python, Java, Node.js, and Go.
MCP Usage: Using the BigQuery remote MCP server and Gemini CLI extension.
Infrastructure as Code: Terraform examples for datasets, tables, and reservations.
IAM & Security: Roles, permissions, and data governance best practices.
Usage Attribution: Standardized usage attribution
tags for gcloud CLI, REST API, and MCP requests.

Create Terraform files that define alerts for AI agent latency, errors, token use, safety, security, and response quality. Check telemetry and existing policies first, then validate the generated configuration. Quality alerts require Vertex AI.
Deploy Model Garden models to Agent Platform endpoints, the addresses used for model requests. Check supported hardware and estimated hourly costs, inspect deployment progress, test predictions, and remove deployed resources after use.
Manages Agent Platform endpoints, the stable URLs used to serve online model predictions. It supports listing, inspecting, creating, updating, and deleting endpoints, plus troubleshooting permission errors, quota limits, and resources that are busy.
Evaluate AI models and agents on Google Cloud using test datasets and scoring criteria. Generate simulated user scenarios, analyze failures, and compare results across changes to guide improvements to prompts and code.
Call Gemini and OpenMaaS models such as Llama, DeepSeek, and Qwen through Google Cloud Agent Platform. Prepare authentication and SDK code, run prompts, configure connection endpoints, and troubleshoot common request errors.
Guides migration from Google AI Studio’s Gemini API to Gemini Enterprise Agent Platform on Google Cloud, covering billing, access permissions, authentication, and connection settings for SDKs and supported agent tools.
