# Your agent asks Gatlas how to get started

2026-09-02 | new | agents | https://www.gatlas.ai/changelog/2026-09-02-agent-asks-gatlas-for-help

Your agent calls get_help for the first steps and the datasets worth building.

Your agent can call `get_help` over the Model Context Protocol (MCP), the way your agent connects to Gatlas, whenever it is starting out or stuck. A bare call returns the first steps. `get_help(topic: "views")` suggests the datasets worth building, and `get_help(topic: "views", entity: "<company>")` shows which ones that company already has. It works on every connection you create on the MCP page and sees only the companies the connection covers.
