Read-only by default: AI debugging without the write risk

When something breaks in production, the hardest part isn’t fixing it. It’s finding it. Our assistant plugs into your live environment, reads your logs, and queries your database on your behalf, then points you to the root cause in plain language.

Database access is read-only by default: a query writes only if the call explicitly sets allowWrite, and every query is audited. That default is the point: investigating cannot change your data by accident. It is not a claim that the assistant can do nothing else: the same agent surface can restart and stop services, redeploy, and delete an application, because those are the things you need when production is broken. What it will not do is quietly write to your data while it is looking.

Ask it “why are checkout requests failing?” and it goes and looks, connects the dots across logs and data, and tells you what it found and what to do next.
