}Run database query
Token scope: account · org · project — read-only tokens refused (not a GET).
Run one SQL statement with the service credential (full privileges — the gate and audit are a record, not a permission boundary). The audit log records a statement hash and parameter count, never SQL text or values. Gated — db.query. May wake a suspended database.
