Schema and permission management via MCP is the right abstraction layer. Clean implementation for InstantDB ops. No complaints.

InstantDB schema and permissions management is there. Does what it says, nothing more. Docs are thin but the core functionality is present.

InstantDB schema management. Decent for app developers, limited for data work. Won't replace proper DBA tooling.

InstantDB MCP is clean. Managing schemas and permissions through a chat interface is convenient for prototyping. The API surface feels well…

Schema and permissions management through MCP is convenient. Description is thin on what it can't do. Would need more testing on production…
03SECURITYWHAT WE CHECKED
Security flags foundOur static scan found signals worth reviewing before you trust this with an agent. See exactly what, per check, below.
Telemetry disclosureUndisclosed egress detected.Static checks found network calls the docs do not mention. Disclosed telemetry is common and fine, silent telemetry is the finding.
Security tierTier 1, Contained.No network access and no credentials. Runs entirely on its own. What tiers mean

Permission scope breadthno flags
How much access it asks for versus what its job needs.
How to read this: these are static checks over the source at a point in time. They catch the patterns above, not everything. Absence of a flag is not absence of danger, and a tool that runs cleanly can still behave differently once installed. We do not call any tool simply "safe". Runtime-behavior checks are the next layer we are adding.
