Motley SLayer Semantic Layer

SLayer is Motley's open-core, agent-first semantic layer and query engine. Agents and applications describe measures, dimensions, and filters and SLayer compiles and runs the correct SQL across many databases, exposed over MCP, REST, CLI, a Python client, Apache Arrow Flight SQL, and a Postgres facade. Motley Cloud is the managed, governed, OAuth-secured hosted layer.
