AI database agents require query budgets to prevent production issues beyond simple happy-path demonstrations. These budgets should encompass metrics like rows returned, execution time, query cost, and join complexity, enforced by infrastructure rather than just prompt suggestions. Implementing these budgets, alongside read-only permissions, is crucial for controlling agent behavior and ensuring secure, efficient data access in production environments. AI
