ec574f3a51 fix(studio): pass Authorization header to assistant list_policies tool (#50756)
<!-- ccr-slack-attribution -->
_Requested by **Saxon Fletcher** · [Slack
thread](https://supabase.slack.com/archives/C051L8U2EJF/p1789995309253479?thread_ts=1789995309.253479&cid=C051L8U2EJF)_

## Problem

**Before:** The Assistant's `list_policies` tool fails in about 70% of
traces. It only "succeeds" when the org has AI opt-in disabled, because
then it returns the privacy stub and never makes a request. When opt-in
is enabled, it runs the pg-meta query server-side with no
`Authorization` header, so the request is unauthenticated and fails. The
Assistant then falls back to `execute_sql`.

**After:** `list_policies` sends the caller's `Authorization` header,
the same way `execute_sql` in `studio-tools.ts` already does, so it
returns the project's RLS policies.

## Solution

`getTools` already receives `authorization` but didn't pass it to
`getSchemaTools`. This PR passes it through. `list_policies` builds `{
Authorization }` from it, and `getDatabasePolicies` gets an optional
`headersInit` argument that it forwards to `executeSql`, the same
pattern `getDatabaseFunctions` uses. Existing client-side callers of
`getDatabasePolicies` don't change.

Files: `lib/ai/tools/index.ts`, `lib/ai/tools/schema-tools.ts`,
`data/database-policies/database-policies-query.ts`, plus tests in
`lib/ai/tools/schema-tools.test.ts` (new) and
`lib/ai/tools/index.test.ts`.

## Review instructions

1. Read `schema-tools.ts` and compare it with the `authHeaders` handling
in `studio-tools.ts` (`execute_sql`).
2. On the preview, use an org with AI opt-in set to at least "schema"
and ask the Assistant to list the RLS policies on `public`.
`list_policies` should return the policies without falling back to
`execute_sql`.

Local gates (all passed):
- `pnpm typecheck` in `apps/studio` (next typegen + `tsc --noEmit`)
- `npx eslint` on touched files: 0 errors. The 2 warnings are on lines
this PR doesn't change.
- `npx vitest run lib/ai/tools/schema-tools.test.ts
lib/ai/tools/index.test.ts lib/ai/tool-filter.test.ts`: 24/24 passed. I
also ran the new header test against the old `schema-tools.ts` and it
failed, as expected.
- `SORT_IMPORTS=false npx prettier --config prettier.config.mjs --check`
on touched files

Follow-up, not in this PR: `getRlsKnowledge` in `fallback-tools.ts`
(self-hosted path) also calls `getDatabasePolicies` without headers,
even though a `headers` object is already in scope there.

How it works

Supabase is a combination of open source tools. We’re building the features of Firebase using enterprise-grade, open source products. If the tools and communities exist, with an MIT, Apache 2, or equivalent open license, we will use and support that tool. If the tool doesn't exist, we build and open source it ourselves. Supabase is not a 1-to-1 mapping of Firebase. Our aim is to give developers a Firebase-like developer experience using open source tools.

Architecture

Supabase is a hosted platform. You can sign up and start using Supabase without installing anything. You can also self-host and develop locally.

Architecture

  • Postgres is an object-relational database system with over 30 years of active development that has earned it a strong reputation for reliability, feature robustness, and performance.
  • Realtime is an Elixir server that allows you to listen to PostgreSQL inserts, updates, and deletes using websockets. Realtime polls Postgres' built-in replication functionality for database changes, converts changes to JSON, then broadcasts the JSON over websockets to authorized clients.
  • PostgREST is a web server that turns your PostgreSQL database directly into a RESTful API.
  • GoTrue is a JWT-based authentication API that simplifies user sign-ups, logins, and session management in your applications.
  • Storage a RESTful API for managing files in S3, with Postgres handling permissions.
  • pg_graphql a PostgreSQL extension that exposes a GraphQL API.
  • postgres-meta is a RESTful API for managing your Postgres, allowing you to fetch tables, add roles, and run queries, etc.
  • Envoy is a cloud-native, high-performance edge and service proxy.

Client libraries

Our approach for client libraries is modular. Each sub-library is a standalone implementation for a single external system. This is one of the ways we support existing tools.
