Also for agent builders
TernoDBI: the database layer for your AI agents
An open-source metadata layer and native MCP server. Gives any agent clean business names, read-only SQL and row-level filters.
pip install terno-dbi →Security and accuracy by design
Terno is built as enterprise infrastructure. Data never leaks, access is enforced deterministically, and answers are always grounded in real execution.
Security
Enterprise-grade data protection
Terno is designed for organizations handling mission-critical data. Security is enforced by deterministic systems, not left to AI behavior.
Runs inside your private cloud
Deployed fully within your cloud or on-prem infrastructure. No data leaves your network boundary.
No enterprise data shared with LLMs
Only controlled metadata is shared. Data values and sensitive fields are never exposed.
Private & self-hosted LLM support
Full control over model selection, inference behavior, logging, and compliance.
Fine-grained access control
Enforce table, column, and row-level access across all analytics workflows.
Deterministic security layer
Rule-based query transpilation ensures zero leakage and zero policy bypass.
Accuracy
Hallucination-free AI analytics
AI answers are grounded in real execution, not text generation,ensuring reliability and business confidence.
Results are computed, not imagined
AI generates executable code. Final answers come from real data execution.
Semantic layer that speaks business
Business-friendly definitions eliminate ambiguity without modifying source databases.
Automated semantic upkeep
An AI agent keeps semantic models accurate as your data evolves.
Built-in verification loops
Every response is validated. Optional verifier agents add enterprise-grade certainty.
Reusable apps with governed logic
Pre-verified logic can be reused across teams, ensuring consistency at scale.
Architecture of Terno
Terno’s architecture blends modular intelligence with secure, semantic access to enterprise data. It is designed for scalability, extensibility, and precision across diverse tools and databases.
Metastore
The Metastore holds business knowledge, provided by experts or learned automatically from your data, to generate accurate, context-aware SQL. Keeps the data catalog up to date and continuously improves query relevance.
SQLShield
A deterministic security layer that sanitizes queries, enforces RBAC, and prevents unsafe SQL execution before queries reach the database. Optimizes query generation while protecting against injection and misuse.
Semantic Layer on Databases
Terno adds a semantic layer on top of databases, enabling searches based on meaning rather than exact keywords. This allows queries like “blue jeans” to match related data such as “navy denims”.
Multi-database intelligence
Terno can analyze across multiple databases and data sources in a single query, relational databases, ERPs, and files. Works with PostgreSQL, MySQL, BigQuery, ERPs like Odoo, and files such as CSV, Excel, and PDFs.
Artifact Store
Intermediate outputs such as datasets, models, queries, charts, and code are stored as reusable artifacts. This accelerates analysis and allows teams to build on verified work.
Enterprise tooling augmentation
Terno integrates with internal tools and workflows such as APIs, schedulers, and notifications. Example: automatically send reports, trigger jobs, or call internal systems.
Data Governance
Row-level security, statement validation, and scoped credentials are enforced automatically on every request an AI agent sends. Access decisions never depend on an agent remembering the rules.
Row-Level Security
Filters like department_id = 5 are rewritten into every query automatically.
SQLShield
Every query is validated at the AST level. Nothing but SELECT gets through.
Semantic Metadata
AI agents see clean business names, never your real table or column names.
