What is Postgres?
Postgres is a data & databases tool. With OSP.net, your AI agent connects to it directly so it can act on your behalf instead of just answering questions about it.
What your OSP agent can do with Postgres
- Explore schemas and tables
- Run read-only SQL and explain query performance
How to connect Postgres
- Find your connection string. Supabase: Project Settings → Database → Connection string. Neon, RDS and friends have an equivalent page. supabase.com → Project Settings → Database
- Strongly recommended: create a dedicated read-only role and use it in the string:
- Paste the full postgresql://… string here and Connect.
Security: Defense in depth: the agent's database tool runs in restricted mode (read-only transactions with execution-time limits) no matter what — but the credential itself should still be least-privilege. Never paste a superuser or table-owner connection string, and avoid your production primary if a read replica exists.

Frequently asked questions
- Can OSP.net connect to Postgres?
- Yes. Postgres is a native OSP.net integration — you bring your own Postgres key or token, paste it in your dashboard, and your agent restarts live.
- What can my OSP agent do with Postgres?
- Your agent answers questions straight from your database — read-only. Specifically: Explore schemas and tables; Run read-only SQL and explain query performance.
- Is Postgres a native integration or via the gateway?
- Postgres is a native, baked-in integration. You connect it with your own credentials, which are stored in an encrypted vault and injected only at runtime.
- Is my Postgres data secure with OSP.net?
- Yes. Your Postgres credentials live in an encrypted secrets vault, are injected only at container runtime, and are never written to disk in plaintext or used to train any model. Each customer runs in a fully isolated instance.
