The SQL Agent is essential for maintaining database security and compliance. It performs several critical functions, including:

- **Logging User Actions**: Captures detailed logs of all user activities within the database for auditing and monitoring purposes.
- **Enforcing Policies**: Ensures predefined security and operational policies are consistently applied across the database environment.
- **Data Masking**: Applies techniques to protect sensitive information from unauthorized access.
