Why in the hell would it be able to access a _remote_ database?! In no acceptable dev environment would someone be able to access that.


Everywhere I’ve ever worked, there was always some way to access a production system even if it required multiple approvals and short-lived credentials for something like AWS SSM. If the user has access, the agent has access, no matter how briefly.


Not if you require auth with a Yubikey, not if you run the LLM client inside a VM which doesn't have your private ssh key, ...


Supabase virtually encouraged it last year haha. I tried using it once and noped out after using it for an hour, when claude tried to do a bunch of migrations on prod instead of dev.
