FAQ

How long does setup take?

Under 10 minutes. Paste your MongoDB or PostgreSQL URL, configure visibility, copy the MCP URL into your AI tool.

Does AskDB write to my production database?

Never. It connects read-only to run mongodump (Mongo) or pg_dump (Postgres), then all queries go against the sandbox copy.

How is field filtering different from data masking?

Data masking replaces values with fakes. AskDB simply omits hidden fields entirely — the AI doesn't know they exist.

Which databases are supported?

MongoDB and PostgreSQL are both first-class today — pick the engine when you add a connection, or mix them in the same workspace. MySQL is next on the roadmap. The adapter interface is ready for more.

How does the sandbox stay fresh?

Manual sync — click "Sync Now" in the dashboard. Scheduled sync is on the roadmap.

Is this secure enough for production data?

AskDB enforces read-only access, field stripping at query time, query validation (allowlist only), encrypted connection strings, and full audit logging. See the Security section in the README.

What AskDB is not

Not a database. AskDB stores configs and audit logs. Your data stays in MongoDB or Postgres.
Not a BI tool. No dashboards, no charts. AskDB gives AI agents structured access to your data.
Not an agent framework. We don't build agents. We give them safe, controlled access to your database.
Not a data masking tool. No fake data, no tokenization. Hidden fields are simply omitted from responses.
Not multi-tenant. Single-user, self-hosted. Multi-user and teams are on the roadmap.
