Standard

Why use Ceven?

  1. AI native Xata integration

    • Describe the outcome and Ceven picks the right Xata calls, fills the parameters, and checks the result.
    • Structured, agent friendly tool schemas so each call runs reliably instead of by guesswork.
    • Rich coverage for reading, writing, and querying your Xata data, across all 8 of its actions.

  2. Managed auth

    • Built in OAuth with automatic token refresh and rotation.
    • One place to manage, scope, and revoke Xata access.
    • Per user and per environment credentials instead of shared keys.

  3. Agent optimized design

    • Actions are tuned from real success and error rates so reliability climbs over time.
    • Full execution logs so you always know what ran in Xata, when, and on whose behalf.
    • The agent pauses and asks when Xata is unclear instead of plowing ahead.

  4. Enterprise grade security

    • Fine grained access so you control which agents and people can reach Xata.
    • Least privilege by default, read scopes first and only the writes a workflow needs.
    • A full audit trail of every Xata action to support review and sign off.

Supported tools

Every action Ceven's agents can run on Xata, and when to use it.

Get Organization Details
Pull detailed information about a specific organization by ID. Use this to check billing status, admin settings, or the organization name.
Get project resource limits
Retrieve the default resource limits for projects. Use this to verify maximum storage, allowed regions, or branch limits.
List Extensions
Pull available PostgreSQL extensions for a specific image. Use this when you need to verify if a specific extension is supported.
List Available Images
Retrieve all available postgres images for a specific organization and region. Use this to select the correct image for deployment.
List Instance Types
Pull a list of all instance types for an organization and region. Use this to compare CPU, RAM, and pricing configurations.
List Organization API Keys
Retrieve a list of all API keys associated with a Xata organization. Use this for security audits and key rotation workflows.
List Available Regions
Pull the list of regions where new branches can be deployed. Use this to ensure data residency compliance for new projects.
Update Organization
Modify information for an existing organization. Use this to update the organization name or other profile details.

Frequently asked questions

Ceven connects to Xata using an API token provided by your organization administrator. When you add your token, Ceven stores it in an encrypted vault and uses it to sign every request to the Xata API. The agent only accesses the specific endpoints required for the workflow you have designed. You can rotate your Xata API token at any time through the Xata dashboard, and you simply need to update the token in the Ceven connection settings to restore service. This ensures that your database administrative credentials are never shared with other users of the platform and remain protected by industry standard encryption.
The current integration focuses on organization and infrastructure management. While Ceven can list images, check regions, and manage organization settings, it does not currently have the ability to execute DDL statements or create new tables directly within a Xata schema. To manage your schema, you should continue using the Xata visual editor or the Xata CLI. However, you can use Ceven to automate the infrastructure checks that must happen before you deploy a schema change, such as verifying that your project has enough remaining resource limits to support a large data migration or a new index.
Ceven respects the rate limits imposed by the Xata API. It is important to note that Xata applies different rate limits based on your organization plan and the specific endpoint being called. If a workflow triggers too many requests in a short window, Xata will return a 429 Too Many Requests error. Ceven handles this by implementing an exponential backoff strategy, meaning the agent will wait a few seconds before retrying the request. For very large organizations with thousands of resources, we recommend scheduling your audits during off peak hours to avoid hitting these limits during critical production windows.
Yes, Ceven can interact with any region that is returned by the Xata List Available Regions endpoint. When you build a workflow to deploy or check resources, the agent dynamically pulls the list of active regions from your specific organization. This means as Xata adds new data centers or regions to their global footprint, those options become immediately available to Ceven without requiring a software update. You can build a workflow that automatically checks for the lowest latency region available for your users and then verifies the instance types available in that specific location.
Ceven can perform administrative tasks at the organization level, but fine grained access control for individual database branches is managed within the Xata identity and access management system. The agent can list the branches and check their status, but it cannot change who has read or write access to a specific branch. This is a security design choice to ensure that database permissions are handled through a centralized and audited system. Use Ceven to monitor the existence and health of your branches, but use the Xata dashboard to manage the specific users who can access the data.
Ceven uses the List Extensions tool to query which PostgreSQL extensions are available for a given image version. This is particularly useful for developers who need to ensure that a specific image supports tools like PostGIS or pgvector before they migrate their data. The agent can be programmed to alert you if a required extension is missing from your current image, or it can help you identify the correct image version to use during a project setup. This removes the guesswork from the database provisioning process and ensures your environment is compatible with your code.
No. The current integration is designed for infrastructure and organization management. Ceven interacts with the Xata management API, not the data API. This means the agent can see your project names, your region settings, and your resource limits, but it cannot read the rows or columns of data stored inside your tables. Your actual application data remains private and is never passed to the large language model. This separation ensures that you can automate your database operations and infrastructure audits without ever exposing sensitive customer information to the AI agent layer.
If an organization is deleted in Xata, any Ceven workflows relying on that organization ID will fail. The agent will receive a 404 Not Found error from the Xata API. When this happens, Ceven will trigger a workflow failure notification and mark the connection as broken. To fix this, you will need to update the organization ID in your workflow settings or connect a new Xata organization. Because Ceven does not mirror your organization data locally, there is no residual data left in the platform after the source organization is removed from Xata.
