Run Your Whole Database Fleet From the Chat, Safely

For a long time the smart move was to keep the LLM far away from production infrastructure. Not because the model was dumb, but because the blast radius was unbounded. Hand an assistant a shell and a database password and the worst case is not a bad suggestion, it is a confident DROP TABLE. So we built the thing that makes the worst case impossible, and then we handed your assistant the keys.

FoundryDB's MCP server now ships 24 tools, enough to run a service from creation to deletion without ever leaving the chat. Provision a PostgreSQL cluster. Take a backup and check the recovery window. Pull your slowest queries, ask the advisor for an index, and apply it. Scale storage, add a replica, set a maintenance window. The whole operational story, spoken to your assistant in plain language. The reason you can actually trust it with that is a three-layer safety model that sits under every single tool: agents propose, the platform brokers, and the destructive paths refuse to fire on a guess.
