AI in production databases? Hard pass.

Here's the rule: AI gets read-only access. Period.

No direct writes to prod. Not with "better prompts." Not with "safeguards." Never.

Sandbox it. Rate limit it. Human approval required.

Why? Because one bad query is fixable. One bad DELETE on prod is a career-ending incident.

Your system of record isn't a testing ground. Treat it like your private keys—one mistake and it's over.

AI is a tool, not a trusted signer. Act accordingly.
