## What is secure AI data access?

Secure AI data access means AI agents and LLMs read enterprise data through governed API endpoints instead of holding database credentials. DreamFactory auto-generates REST APIs from your databases and acts as the secure intermediary: role-based permissions control exactly which tables, columns, and operations each agent can reach, and every call is logged with user identity, timestamp, and request details.

The platform is self-hosted — deployed on your infrastructure, including air-gapped environments — so your data never leaves your control while AI applications get the access they need.

## Why DreamFactory

## Frequently asked questions

### Do AI agents get direct access to our databases?

No. Agents interact only through governed REST APIs; your database credentials are never exposed to the model or agent. DreamFactory sits between AI and your data as a controlled API layer.

### How do we control what an AI agent can see?

Through role-based access control: you define which tables, columns, and operations each agent role can access, with granular permissions enforced on every request.

### Which data sources are supported?

SQL Server, MySQL, PostgreSQL, Oracle, Snowflake, MongoDB, and 20+ other databases and data sources — each exposed through auto-generated REST APIs in minutes.

### Is there an audit trail for AI access?

Yes. Every API call is logged with user identity, timestamp, and request details, giving compliance teams a complete record of what AI systems accessed and when.
