The original headline is: "5 AI Agent Mistakes That Can Destroy Your Production Database (And How to Fix Them)"

Short summary

AI agents running with production access can execute destructive commands (DROP TABLE, rm -rf) if not properly constrained. Five critical mistakes—unreviewed database access, unsandboxed shells, unreviewable migrations, poor logging, and missing backups—wreck production systems. Implement read-only connections, Docker sandboxing, transaction rollbacks, and preview-before-destructive-action patterns to ship safely with AI agents.
