What can an AI agent do with Neon?

A Neon AI agent can run SQL queries, inspect table schemas, list and create database branches, apply migrations, and generate data reports - automatically on a schedule or on demand. It's an ideal AI agent for database reporting, branch lifecycle automation, and schema management. Write actions like creating branches or running migrations require your approval.

Which Neon projects and branches can my agent access?

Your agent can access any project and branch that your connected Neon API key has permission to manage. Scope tasks to specific projects or branches in your task instructions to keep operations focused.

Can my agent modify production data?

Write operations - including creating branches, deleting branches, and running migrations - require your approval in safe and plan permission modes. Some read-only actions run without asking. Everything else waits for your approval.

How is a Neon AI agent different from running SQL manually?

Manual SQL requires you to open a client, remember connection strings, and run queries yourself. A Neon AI agent runs queries on a schedule, synthesizes results into readable reports, posts findings to Slack, and manages the full branch lifecycle - all without you touching a terminal.

What needs your approval

Neon never changes anything without you.

Some read-only Neon operations run on their own so your agent can gather what it needs. Anything that creates, edits or deletes waits for your approval.
