PostgreSQL extension to set connection to read-only mode (for AI agents and MCP)
SMRTR summary
A new PostgreSQL extension called safesession locks database sessions into read-only mode to prevent AI agents and automated tools from making destructive changes. Once loaded via the LOAD command, it forces every transaction in that session to be read-only, blocking INSERT, UPDATE, DELETE, and DDL operations while adding minimal overhead.
