Sqlite is a replacement for fopen(). Its security model is inherited from the filesystem itself; it doesn't have any authentication or authorization model to speak of. What we're talking about here though is Postgres, which does have those things.

Similarly, I wouldn't be going "Jesus H. Christ" if their MCP server ran `cat /path/to/foo.csv` (symlink attacks aside), but I would be if it run `cat /etc/shadow`.
