AI agents that use Supabase
UtilitySpaces gives an AI agent scoped access to Supabase through its own encrypted connection, not your password. The agent can call 3 named Supabase tools, and the one that writes waits for a person's approval unless an admin has set the connection to run without asking. Every call is written to a hash-chained audit log with its arguments and its result.
What an agent can do in Supabase
Query and insert rows in a Supabase project's Postgres tables via PostgREST. An agent calls these by name, and matching is exact.
| Tool | What it does | Waits for approval by default |
|---|---|---|
| Get schema | Get the OpenAPI description of available tables. | No — read only |
| Select rows | Read rows from a table; extra arguments become PostgREST filters (e.g. id=eq.5). | No — read only |
| Insert row | Insert one row; every argument other than table becomes a column value. | Yes — it writes |
2 read tools, 1 write tool. Generated from the connector catalogue the product runs on, so it cannot list a tool that does not exist.
What teams hand an agent in Supabase
Product and data teams hand an agent the read side of their own database: discovering tables with Get schema, then answering questions with Select rows and PostgREST filters. Insert row is the single write, and it stops for approval unless an admin has set this connection to run without asking.
- Answer "how many signups this week" questions in the inbox by selecting rows from the right table with a date filter.
- Keep a table of events or leads current by inserting one row when a matching event arrives from another connected app (after a person approves it)
- Look up a single record, such as an account by id, when someone in chat asks what the database says about it.
What waits for a person
Reads run on their own. These do not — each one waits in Approvals for an owner or admin unless an admin has set this connection to run writes without asking, and every call toSupabase, approved, rejected or unattended, is logged.
- Insert row POST
What connecting Supabase takes
Supabase uses an API key you create in Supabase and paste in once. A workspace admin sets the connection up; the fields are:
- Project URL
- Service Role Key
Credentials are encrypted and bound to your workspace, never read back, and every outbound call passes one guarded fetch — the connector security posture sets out exactly how, and the security page covers the platform around it.
Where Supabase fits
Give an agent Supabase work by writing a message in the inbox, or put its tools in a scheduled flow. What the run cost is on the cost breakdown.
