Problem

attempt to fix this ticket: when the studio ai assistant runs a query with previously set database opt-in, execute_sql returns every row while the query cell's footer says "Limit 100 rows" causing in case of large amount of returned rows browser to freeze

  • the chat fails with "Sorry, I'm having trouble responding right now" until the user clears it

Solution

  • execute_sql now keeps the first 100 rows using the cell's existing DEFAULT_CELL_ROW_LIMIT
  • uses in history sanitizer the same toModelRows helper
  • chats saved before this change have no totalRows so the helper falls back to rows.length and cuts them to 100 too

Review instructions

  1. In a test project, run this in the SQL editor:
    create table "emailSubscriber" (id bigint generated always as identity primary key, email text);
    create table "stripeCustomer" (id bigint generated always as identity primary key, email text);
    insert into "emailSubscriber" (email) select md5(g::text) || '@example.com' from generate_series(1, 50000) g;
    insert into "stripeCustomer" (email) select md5(g::text) || '@example.com' from generate_series(1, 1000) g;
  2. on the live dashboard, open the assistant in a new chat and send "i want all the emails in emailSubscriber where the email is not in the stripeCustomer table"
  3. in the opt in requested settings choose "Schema, Logs & Database Data"
  4. then click run query, the cell should show 100 rows (vs 50000 rows in prod)

📝 Walkthrough

SQL tool results now include the total row count. The tool and sanitizer limit model-visible rows to the configured maximum and identify partial results.

Changes: SQL result row limits

Layer / File(s) Summary
Sanitize SQL rows
apps/studio/lib/ai/tools/tool-sanitizer.ts, apps/studio/lib/ai/tools/tool-sanitizer.test.ts
The sanitizer accepts an optional totalRows value. For full-data output, it returns all rows within the limit or the first 100 rows with a note when the total is larger.
Apply row limit in execute_sql
apps/studio/lib/ai/tools/studio-tools.ts, apps/studio/lib/ai/tools/studio-tools.test.ts
execute_sql returns up to 100 rows and records the original count in totalRows. Its tests cover returned rows and model output for a 101-row result.

Priority: ➖ Normal

Estimated code review effort: 2 (Simple) | ~10 minutes

Change: Bug fix

Suggested reviewers: saxonf

Merge Risk: 🟡 Moderate · up to df595

The new row cap can still be bypassed by valid read queries that contain digit-tagged dollar-quoted strings. Those queries can return very large results to the browser, which is the freeze this change is meant to prevent. Confirmation is also still needed that queries ending in FETCH NEXT are not rewritten into invalid SQL. Address both before merging.

Review comments at @apps/studio/lib/ai/tools/cap-read-query.ts:
- Around line 25-26: Update the UNWRAPPABLE check used by applyAutoLimit to
classify SQL tokens outside string literals, so words such as 'update' inside a
quoted value do not prevent wrapping a read query with a large LIMIT. Preserve
rejection of actual write operations and the existing handling of unwrappable
statements.
- Around line 20-21: Update the query classification before the applyAutoLimit
call so SELECT INTO statements are treated as writes and never receive an
automatic LIMIT, regardless of the tool-supplied isWriteQuery value; leave their
SQL unchanged.
- Around line 20-21: Update the `applyAutoLimit` handling in the read-query flow
to recognize an existing `LIMIT ALL` clause and route that query through the
wrapper or otherwise avoid appending another `LIMIT`; preserve execution of
valid queries without generating duplicate LIMIT clauses.

## Problem

attempt to [fix this
ticket](https://supabase.frontapp.com/inboxes/teams/folders/27650590/unassigned/116845868830):
when the studio ai assistant runs a query with previously set database
opt-in, `execute_sql` returns every row while the query cell's footer
says "Limit 100 rows" causing in case of large amount of returned rows
browser to freeze

+ the chat fails with "Sorry, I'm having trouble responding right now"
until the user clears it

## Solution

- `execute_sql` now keeps the first 100 rows using the cell's existing
`DEFAULT_CELL_ROW_LIMIT`
- uses in history sanitizer the same `toModelRows` helper
- chats saved before this change have no `totalRows` so the helper falls
back to `rows.length` and cuts them to 100 too

## Review instructions

1. In a test project, run this in the SQL editor:
   ```sql
create table "emailSubscriber" (id bigint generated always as identity
primary key, email text);
create table "stripeCustomer" (id bigint generated always as identity
primary key, email text);
insert into "emailSubscriber" (email) select md5(g::text) ||
'@example.com' from generate_series(1, 50000) g;
insert into "stripeCustomer" (email) select md5(g::text) ||
'@example.com' from generate_series(1, 1000) g;
2. on the live dashboard, open the assistant in a new chat and send "i
want all the emails in emailSubscriber where the email is not in the
stripeCustomer table"
3. in the opt in requested settings choose "Schema, Logs & Database
Data"
4. then click run query, the cell should show 100 rows (vs 50000 rows in
prod)

The previous commit was built on an older base and overwrote changes from
#51608: it removed the execute_sql row cap and declared aiOptInLevel twice
in the assistant context. #51608 already tells the model the current opt-in
level, so this restores those files and keeps only the approval and card
changes for already-granted opt-in requests.
