I think a few things explain these kinds of projects

1. There are a lot of Agentic Data Plane startups for knowledge workers(not really for coders[1] but for CFOs, Analysts etc) going up. e.g https://www.redpanda.com/ For people to ask "Hey give me a breakdown of last year's sales target by region, type and compare 2026 to 2025 for Q1".

Now this can be done entirely on intranet and only on certain permissioned data servers — by agents or humans — but as someone pointed out the intranet can also be a dangerous place. So I guess this is about protecting DB tables and Jiras and documentation you are not allowed to see.??

2. People who have skills — like the one OP has with wasm (I guess?) — are building random infra projects for enabling this.

3. All the coding people are getting weirded out by its security model because it is ofc not built for them.

[1] As I have commented elsewhere on this thread the moment a coder does webfetch + codeexec its game over from security perspective. Prove me wrong on that please.
