Can AI query a database?

Yes. AI can query a database when it has the necessary sources and integrations. The feature is scoped with permissions, validation, and logs proportional to the risk, preventing the model from taking unauthorized actions. Database connections are mediated through APIs or services with controlled queries and permissions; AI shouldn't have unrestricted access to the whole database. Sources, permissions, and tools available to the AI are separated by role; an assistant shouldn't see or do more than the task requires.
