Could you build this?
Partial A basic DB-to-REST/MCP layer for one database engine is vibe-codeable, but a trustworthy version needs robust schema introspection across engines, correct permission enforcement, and audit logging that holds up under adversarial use.
What it would actually take: Build a single-binary Go or Rust service that introspects the schema (for example via information_schema or pg_catalog), auto-generates REST routes and MCP tool definitions, and enforces row- and column-level policies. The hard parts are a security model that cannot be bypassed, tamper-evident audit logs, and support for multiple database engines. That calls for engineers experienced in database security and API gateway design, plus a serious security review before production use.
