For AI database agents, data minimization is more critical than simply granting read-only access. These agents often receive excessive sensitive information, even without mutating data. Implementing row limits, approved views, scoped permissions, and data redaction before it reaches the model are crucial steps. Approved views can encode safe columns, default filters, and fields that should never be exposed, enhancing both security and the quality of AI-generated answers. AI
