I don’t understand your explanation on mitigating the confused deputy. If the attacker has access to the database, can’t they just read the IDs for the target row they are overriding first so they can generate the correct hash?

The attack would be like: attacker has read/write access to the database but not to the code of the backend service. Attacker swaps the hash of a targeted API key with the hash of their own API key. Attacker has now access to the resources of the targeted organization when using their own API key.
