Give AI safe database access

Why this skill matters

An assistant or agent with broad credentials can expose or destroy data through one bad statement.

What to learn

• Use read-only, least-privilege accounts for AI tools
• Keep production data away from tools that have not been approved
• Require parameterised queries and human approval for writes

Before you begin

Database users and permissions

PUT IT INTO PRACTICE

Build a work sample

Create a read-only role on a test database, connect an assistant, and confirm that write attempts and restricted tables are refused.

Evidence of progress

A tested access setup with the refused actions recorded.

This exercise is an original ToolGrail suggestion. Use public, synthetic, or approved data.
