# What does the Structural Agent do automatically?

When you start a Structural Agent chat, it can automatically perform the following tasks.

## Check for a source data connection

For workspaces that have not yet generated data, the Structural Agent first checks whether the workspace has a valid connection to source data. If not, it prompts you to go to workspace settings and configure the connection.

If there is a source data connection, then the Agent checks the status of the initial sensitivity scan, and prompts you to run a scan if the scan hasn't started.

For a file connector workspace, the Structural Agent checks that you have created at least one file group with files.

## Summarize the sensitivity scan results

When the sensitivity scan is complete, the Structural Agent provides a summary of the scan results.

Depending on the number of tables and columns, the Structural Agent can provide a complete list of the sensitive columns, or a more condensed summary.

## Prompt to apply recommended generators

Based on the scan results, the Structural Agent suggests that you apply the recommended generators for the detected sensitive columns.

## Prompt to generate data

When all of the sensitive columns are protected, the Agent prompts you to run the data generation.

The Agent cannot start the data generation.
