Guides
These pages apply whether you connect with an MCP client, from R, or from Python.
Learn Console
These guides introduce Console through a session with your agent:
- Get started: connect an agent and try a first analysis.
- Sessions and languages: run code and build on earlier results.
- Packages and environments: use packages without preparing an environment yourself.
- Sandbox and trust: understand what the agent can access.
- Recordings and reports: inspect and reuse the work.
