Features

  • Read-only access: Only SELECT, SHOW, DESCRIBE, and EXPLAIN statements are allowed; file-capable SELECT INTO and LOAD_FILE forms are rejected

  • Query validation: Prevents SQL injection and blocks any data modification attempts

  • Query timeout: Prevents long-running queries from consuming resources

  • Row limit: Prevents excessive data return

  • Exact large numbers: BIGINT and DECIMAL values are returned as strings to prevent precision loss

  • list_tables

    Lists all tables in a specified database.
