> AI Agents, instead, directly access the database
However, I don't think I'd be too far off the mark given many systems work like this (analytics tools typically hook into your DB, to the chagrin of many an SRE/DevOps) and it's usually marketed as the easy solution. Also, I've since read a few comments and it appears I'm pretty fucking close: the agents here read a search index, so pretty tightly hooked into a DB system.
Everything else, I know I'm right (I've built plenty of systems like this), and someone was making a point that permissions access does scale. I pointed out that it appears to scale because of the way they're designed.
I'd say most of my comment is substantively correct, with a disclaimer on an (important) point, where I'd be happy to be corrected.

I read this and feel that you still want imaginary internet points for something that is, at best, directionally correct. To me it seems your desire for internet points urged you to post a statement and not a question. I imagine most of HN is just statements that are overconfident bluster by only directionally correct statements which create the cacophony of this site.
That doesn’t solve the problem of changing schemas causing issues for your data team at all. Something I see regularly. If you setup an AI Agent the same way you still give it full access, so you still haven’t fixed the problem at hand.

And you’ve yet to substantiate your objection to what I posited (alongside everyone else), so instead you continue to talk about something unrelated in the hope of… what, exactly?
(To your point, >15 of them would have had different answers and the majority would have been materially wrong, but still.)
