Datasette Agent 0.2a0 Adds Mid-Execution User Questions and a Save-SQL Tool

simonwillison.net·low signal

Willison's Datasette Agent 0.2a0, released June 10, adds the ability for the agent to pause and ask the user questions mid-execution, plus a built-in tool to save SQL queries. The mid-run human-in-the-loop pattern is the interesting design choice — preserving oversight without fully blocking autonomy. Worth a look for anyone building SQL or data agents who wants interactive clarification instead of one-shot prompting.
