  -d '{
    "samples": [
      {"id": 1, "name": "Alice", "email": "alice@example.com", "age": 30},
      {"id": 2, "name": "Bob", "email": "bob@example.com", "age": 25}
    ],
    "table_name": "users",
    "options": {
      "detect_nullable": true,
      "detect_vectors": true,
      "prefer_narrow_types": true
    }
  }'

Response:

{
  "success": true,
  "data": {
    "table_name": "users",
    "columns": [
      {
        "name": "id",
        "sql_type": "INTEGER",
        "nullable": false,
        "confidence": 0.95
      },
      {
        "name": "name",
        "sql_type": "VARCHAR(100)",
        "nullable": false,
        "confidence": 0.95
      },
      {

      }
    ],
    "ddl": "CREATE TABLE users (...);",
    "confidence": 0.85,
    "warnings": []
  }
}

2. Key Rotation Framework

Production-grade encryption key management with rotation support.

Features:

Seamless key rotation without data loss
Backup previous key for legacy data decryption
Rotation metadata with timestamps
SHA256 key identification for audit trails
Full backward compatibility during rotation

API:

// Generate new key
let new_key = KeyManager::generate_random();

// Rotate to new key
key_manager.rotate(new_key.key().clone())?;

// Access rotation metadata
if let Some(metadata) = key_manager.rotation_metadata() {
    println!("Rotated at: {}", metadata.rotated_at);
    println!("Old key ID: {}", metadata.previous_key_id);
    println!("New key ID: {}", metadata.current_key_id);
}

// Decrypt legacy data with previous key
if let Some(prev_key) = key_manager.previous_key() {
    decrypt_with_key(encrypted_data, prev_key)?;
}

Rotation Workflow:

Generate new encryption key
Call rotate(new_key) to activate new key
Store previous key for legacy data decryption
Re-encrypt data with new key (async process)
Audit rotation via metadata

3. Multi-Tenancy & RLS Framework

Complete infrastructure for tenant isolation and row-level security.

Features:

Tenant registration and management
Three isolation modes: SharedSchema, DatabasePerTenant, SchemaPerTenant
RLS policy definition
Per-request tenant context
Resource quota framework
Audit trail for tenant operations

API:

// Create tenant manager
let manager = TenantManager::new();

// Register tenant
let tenant = manager.register_tenant(
    "acme-corp",
    IsolationMode::SharedSchema
);

// Set request context
manager.set_current_context(TenantContext {
    tenant_id: tenant.id,
    user_id: "user@acme.com".to_string(),
    roles: vec!["admin".to_string()],
    isolation_mode: IsolationMode::SharedSchema,
});

// Create RLS policy
manager.create_rls_policy(
    "accounts".to_string(),
    "tenant_isolation".to_string(),
    "tenant_id = current_tenant()".to_string(),
    RLSCommand::All,
    "accounts.tenant_id = current_setting('app.current_tenant')".to_string(),
    Some("accounts.tenant_id = current_setting('app.current_tenant')".to_string()),
);

// Check resource quota
if manager.check_quota(tenant.id, "connections") {
    // Allow connection
}

Isolation Modes:

SharedSchema - Shared database + schema, isolated via RLS
DatabasePerTenant - Separate database per tenant
SchemaPerTenant - Separate schema per tenant

4. Agent Memory API (Fixed & Enabled)

13 endpoints for AI agent session management and memory operations.

New Endpoints:

POST /api/v1/agents/memory - Create session
GET /api/v1/agents/memory - List sessions
GET /api/v1/agents/memory/:id - Get session details
PUT /api/v1/agents/memory/:id - Update session
