Thanks! Don't forget wire level protocol parsing - this is important because agents usually can spawn subprocesses and if they have postgres credentials, you're just one psql call away from disaster if you only have MCP/HTTP proxies in place.

So, why not instead limit your agents to a few endpoints / MCP functions that you control, which give access to your db (or whatever) through read-only permissions?

It seems this is a bit like "reinventing permissions" no?
