Security
- Read-only. The server only runs `SELECT` queries. `INSERT`, `UPDATE`, `DELETE`, `DROP`, `CREATE`, `UNION`, and subqueries are all blocked at the parser level.
- Company-scoped filtering. Every query is automatically injected with `company_id = 'YOUR_COMPANY_UUID'` before execution. No manual filter needed, no filter bypass possible.
- API key validation. Keys are SHA-256 hashed and validated on every request. Revoked or inactive keys are rejected immediately.
- UUID-enforced scoping. Company IDs are validated as proper UUIDs before any query execution, preventing injection attacks.
- No external APIs. Your data never leaves your database. No third-party API calls are made during query processing.
- Audit trail. Each key records `last_used_at` timestamp on every successful request.
- Rate limiting. Fair-use limits apply per plan tier to prevent abuse.
