hex Codex Plugin

This plugin is a routing connector that lets an assistant search for existing Hex projects, dashboards, and data apps, and start or continue a Hex Threads conversation about workspace data. According to the plugin manifest, it is meant to be invoked only when a user explicitly asks to work in Hex or to find an existing Hex asset. The README specifies that searching for existing work should happen before starting a new thread, and that creating or continuing a thread is a write action requiring user confirmation and a valid Hex workspace context. It is explicitly not intended to be the default tool for general KPI reporting, dashboard creation, or notebook-based analysis; those should go through other analytics skills unless Hex is specifically requested. The plugin itself does not perform analysis directly but hands off the interaction to the Hex product.
About the service
Hex, according to its homepage, is a data analytics platform that combines AI agents, natural-language chat (Threads), notebooks, semantic models, and shareable data apps in one workspace connected to a company's data warehouse, aimed at giving both technical and non-technical users answers grounded in that data.
What you can do with hex
- Search for existing Hex projects, dashboards, or data apps in a workspace
- Start a new Hex Thread to ask a natural-language question about workspace data
- Continue an existing Hex Thread conversation
- Expect a confirmation step before a thread is created or continued, since these are treated as write actions
- Rely on other analytics or data-science tools for general reporting, KPI tracking, or notebook analysis unless Hex is explicitly requested
