Willison shipped datasette-agent-edit 0.1a0 on June 7, letting agents perform structured data edits inside Datasette, alongside micropython-wasm sandbox work for running untrusted agent code. Separately his evolving Agentic Engineering Patterns guide reframes the work around two principles: code is cheap now, so keep the domain expertise and aim agents at routine implementation. Sandbox plus edit primitives is exactly the plumbing practitioners need to let agents touch data without burning the house down.
