Description

Thank you for building this! For me this "chat with database" at this level of quality is wonderful - a real accelerator every day!

One thing that's important for me is to have a "read-only" security setting when connecting to PROD databases. I see you have such a setting for Copilot already, but I would like to have it for the whole database connection, not just the copilot.

Previously I used DBeaver a lot and it's this setting I mean:

Thank you! :-)

Research direction

No source file, test, or entry point is named. Start by locating the existing Copilot read-only setting, then review the linked DBeaver security-restrictions documentation and determine how a read-only choice should apply to the whole database connection. Done should mean the setting consistently restricts the connection, not only Copilot.
