# Rowsafe

Rowsafe lets an AI agent inspect database health and prepare fixes for review. Use it to investigate database issues or check a migration before running it.

## What it does

Rowsafe exposes database operations to an agent: health checks, schema inspection, slow-query explanations, and migration checks for locks and data rewrites. An agent can apply a fix after you approve it. The server also supports recording changes and creating restore points called Marks.

For a local connection, run `rowsafe mcp shop --allow-writes`; `shop` is the database name in this example, and the flag enables writes. The database connection string supplies access. Commands work through a pooler, but fixes that execute inside the database do not. Rowsafe supports PostgreSQL, MySQL, MariaDB, MongoDB, Redis, and Valkey; available operations vary by database.

## When to use it
- check database health and identify issues
- inspect tables, columns, and indexes
- find why a SQL query is slow
- check a migration for locks and data rewrites
- review a proposed fix before applying it

## Example prompts
- Check the health of `shop` and suggest a fix.
- Show the tables and indexes in the `shop` database.
- Check `0042.sql` for locks and data rewrites before I run it.
