Well, if you can send queries, then you can do the same thing, driven

Sure. Of course you should be monitoring your production servers for
anomalous workloads, no? "Gee, why is Joe running the same query
millions of times that keeps throwing errors? Maybe we should go see
what Joe is up to"
If you can't directly send queries in any form, then I guess things
are different.
Right, and there are plenty of those. I have even worked with at least
one rather large one on behalf of your employer some years ago.
But I don't really understand what kind of system you have in mind.
Well I did say I was being hand wavy ;-)
It has been a long time since I thought deeply about this. I will try to
come back with something more concrete if no one beats me to it.
