Frequently asked questions
Can Cognis change my BigQuery project?
Only the Cognis AI DBA can, and only with a separate operator key you create yourself, inside a policy you control. Cognis chat is read-only.
Is the Cognis AI DBA on by default?
No — every policy starts paused. You turn it on and choose exactly what it's allowed to touch.
What if a fix goes wrong?
Every change is checked after it lands, and most can be rolled back in one click. The few that cannot, such as quarantining a stale table, always need an owner.
How does dbt fit in?
dbt fixes arrive as pull requests on your own repo. Your CI runs, and a person always merges.
What does Cognis use to answer questions?
Your own account's scan data, using the dashboards' own metrics wherever one fits — never a live read of your table contents.
Who approves Cognis AI DBA actions?
The account owner, per the policy they set. A policy can let a few safe action types run by itself, and some actions always need an owner. Every suggested, approved and applied action is logged.
