Control what your AI agents do in BigQuery.

Let your team build AI agents for BigQuery. Bollard AI controls what each one can do, area by area.

What agents can do

Set what each agent can do across your data.

Each area of BigQuery, like datasets, tables, or jobs, gets one of three levels: Off, Read, or Full use. Anything not allowed is denied.

Off
No access
The agent can't see that part of your data.
Read
Read-only
The agent can run queries and read tables in that area. It can't change anything.
Full use
Query and write
The agent can query and write rows to tables in that area.

Some actions stay off until explicitly turned on

Each one removes data for good or copies it out in bulk, so it could override the limits set elsewhere.

Set up & manage

Connect once. Manage everyone from there.

Connect once, then control access person by person. No new keys to hand out.

Step 1 · Set up

Connect once, company-wide

An admin connects your company's BigQuery a single time. Bollard AI lays out the areas of your data, and anything you don't allow stays out of reach for every agent.

Step 2 · Manage

Control access per person and agent

From one dashboard, set what every person and their agents can reach. Change it any time, with no new keys for anyone.

OffNo access
ReadRead-only
Full useRun queries and write rows in a single area
Example

A data analytics agent.

An analytics agent queries the reporting dataset and can read your tables, but it can't delete a dataset or open the raw data.

The security model

Top-tier security.

Bollard AI is access control for AI agents. It sits between your agents and BigQuery, so they never hold your BigQuery keys and never reach BigQuery directly.

Everything runs through Bollard AI

Agents send their requests to Bollard AI, not to BigQuery. Bollard AI checks each one against your rules and passes only the allowed requests through.

Denied by default

Every area starts off-limits, and deleting data or exporting it in bulk is held back on top of that. An agent gets in only where you've allowed it, and anything Bollard AI doesn't recognise is refused and held for review, never waved through on a guess.

Your keys stay sealed

Your BigQuery keys are sealed in a vault unique to your company and never shown again. Bollard AI unlocks them only for the instant an allowed request needs it.

Activity you can read

Every attempt is recorded in plain English: who or which agent, what they tried, which dataset or table, and the decision. The record is readable and can't be edited after the fact.

Questions

BigQuery, answered.

Does connecting BigQuery hand Bollard AI all your data?+
Only the areas you allow. An admin connects your BigQuery, and you decide which datasets each agent can reach. Bollard AI doesn't browse or copy your data. It sits in front of it and checks every request the agents make, passing or blocking each one.
Can an agent delete or export our data?+
Not unless you turn it on. Deleting datasets and tables, and exporting data out of the warehouse, are held off by default, so an agent can query and write where you allow without ever removing or copying out your data, until you explicitly allow it.
Can an agent see more than the person who owns it?+
No. An agent reaches only what its owner reaches. An explicit Off always overrides an inherited permission.
Where do our BigQuery keys live?+
Sealed in an encrypted vault, behind a key unique to your company. It's never shown again once connected, and Bollard AI unseals it only for the instant an allowed request needs it.
What happens when an agent tries something it's not allowed to do?+
Bollard AI blocks the request before it reaches BigQuery, and the blocked attempt lands in the activity record with the reason.
How do we connect BigQuery?+
An admin connects the company's BigQuery once. Bollard AI seals the connection and lays out the areas of your data to set rules for. From then on, all management happens in the Bollard AI dashboard.
