Strata ships a semantic layer tool that can reject LLM requests
What happened
On September 30, 2026, Strata released a semantic layer product. According to a Hacker News front-page report, it starts a server with its own database via Docker and uses a CLI to manage projects, data source connections and deployments. The project lives as a folder of YAML in git and ships an AGENTS.md for coding agents such as Claude Code, Codex and Cursor to read. Agents use it to generate fact tables, dimension tables, fields and joins, and present a plan for confirmation before writing files. The report says the semantic layer can say no to an LLM, but does not disclose the refusal mechanism or the rules behind it.

Strata 发布一个语义层产品，通过 Docker 启动自带数据库的服务端，并用 CLI 管理项目、数据源连接与部署。项目以 git 中的 YAML 文件夹形式存在，自带 AGENTS.md 供 Claude Code、Codex、Cursor 等编码智能体读取，智能体据此生成事实表、维度表、字段与连接关系，并在写文件前先给出方案等待确认。
