Hasura Graphql Engine

The Hasura GraphQL Engine skill enables AI agents to instantly generate secure, real-time GraphQL APIs from existing relational databases. It automates the creation of API endpoints and enforces row-level security policies without requiring manual schema definition or backend code.

When to use it

• Rapidly prototype data access layers for new applications by connecting directly to a PostgreSQL database.
• Enable AI agents to query complex datasets with automatic filtering, sorting, and pagination logic.
• Deploy secure APIs that handle multi-tenant data isolation through built-in permission rules.

Key capabilities

• Instant GraphQL API generation from relational schemas
• Automatic enforcement of row-level security policies
• Real-time subscriptions for live data updates
• Multi-tenancy support with granular access controls
• Integration with existing database infrastructure without code changes

Example prompts

• "Create a Hasura GraphQL Engine instance connected to my PostgreSQL database and expose the users table."
• "Set up row-level security rules so that Agent A can only read data for its assigned organization ID."
• "Generate a secure API endpoint that allows real-time updates on order status changes using subscriptions."

Tips & gotchas

Ensure your relational database is accessible and properly configured before attempting to connect the engine. While powerful, complex permission logic may require careful testing to prevent unintended data exposure across different user roles.
