Security and guard railing
Sixta includes hand-built tools, protocols and guardrails created by domain experts. They’re designed to focus and channel the power of AI reasoning into analysis, mitigations and fixes that are relevant to teams running large enterprise databases, with gates and failsafes specific to mission-critical systems.
The guardrails
Input filters
Check user prompts before processing, blocking malicious or accidental instructions and validating format.
Scope boundaries
Keep the reasoning engine restricted to the task needed for diagnosis, and on topic.
Permission gates
Hold final authority over what actions are recommended, denying anything that could be harmful or unsafe.
Output validators
Make sure what comes out makes sense, is safe, and is relevant to the task at hand.
You are in control throughout
Sixta runs inside your own infrastructure with read-only access to your databases, and only ever sees metadata and performance information, never the contents of your tables. The data that reaches the language model is tightly controlled, so there’s no leakage of raw production data. All traffic between Sixta’s components is encrypted end to end, and autonomous actions are guard-railed through our tools. You build progressive trust over time, step by step, and you stay in control throughout.
Observe
Sixta maps your database topology, watches query patterns and builds baselines of normal behaviour, learning the difference between a genuine anomaly and a Tuesday batch job or month-end spike, so it doesn’t page you for expected load.
Recommend
When something looks wrong, Sixta traces it to a specific query, table or missing index, and delivers root-cause analysis and a fix into your existing incident system. Your team sees what changed and what it implies, then decides whether to fix now or schedule it into a maintenance window.
Act
You can unlock autonomous actions for risk-assessed operations. For safe, well-understood cases (killing runaway queries, adjusting connection pools, adding indexes during maintenance windows) Sixta makes the change under strict guardrails, with every action individually gated and fully auditable.
