Overview
What It Does
Spanner Basics packages a focused devops & cloud workflow for an AI agent. Assists in provisioning instances and databases, designing performant schemas, and querying data in Spanner. Use when designing primary keys, writing SQL queries or client library code, or diagnosing performance issues. It is best suited to users who can review the resulting actions and provide only the accounts, files, or command access needed for the task. It is not a substitute for human approval on destructive, financial, security-sensitive, or public-facing actions.
