Once a Pipeline has pulled and cleaned your data, it has to go somewhere agents can actually use it. That somewhere is the Data Store — the platform’s structured, queryable storage. It’s a set of tables with schemas, rows, and SQL access that pipelines write to and agents read from and write back to.

What Is the Data Store?

The Data Store is the shared data substrate for the whole platform. Where File Explorer holds raw documents, the Data Store holds structured rows — general ledger entries, reconciliations, client records, tax returns. It’s stateful: the data persists between runs, so an agent can pick up exactly where the last one left off.
The Data Store is the platform’s operational database and message-passing bus rolled into one — structured tables for reporting, plus a place to drop work for the next agent.

How to Access the Data Store

Click Data Store in the left navigation, under the Adopt Primitives group. This opens the tables view.
Acct Data Store Tables
Three tabs sit at the top: All Tables (the list), Relationships (how tables link to each other), and Overview.

Inside the Tables List

Each table appears as a card showing its name, status, a plain-language description, and its size. The tables are the working data of an accounting practice — for example: Notice that some descriptions note the table is “read by the Close Tasks UI” or “read by the Reconciliations UI” — that’s a Data Store table feeding a Dashboard agent’s surface directly.

Exploring a Table

Click any table to open its detail view. A row of tabs gives you everything about that table.

The Schema tab is where you see a table’s structure — every column with its type and whether it’s nullable, a primary key, or unique.

What the Data Store Is For

The Data Store does four distinct jobs, and it helps to keep them straight:
  • Landing pipeline output — the structured result of every pipeline run.
  • Capturing agent output — results an agent produces, persisted for later steps or reporting.
  • Agent-to-agent handoff — an intermediate store where one agent parks data for another to pick up and continue.
  • Feeding UIs — tables can be read directly by an agent’s end-user surface, like the Close Tasks or Reconciliations dashboards.
Everything in the Data Store is scoped by the Workstream it belongs to — the schema is shared across clients, but the rows are isolated.

Why the Data Store Matters

The Data Store is what lets a multi-step workflow actually work. A close involves several agents — intake, reconcile, adjust, review, publish — and each one needs to hand structured results to the next. Rather than passing data through brittle exports or messages, each agent writes clean rows to a shared table the next agent reads. It’s also inspectable end to end, so you can always see exactly what data a run was working from.
