datasette-agent Adds DB Write Permission Control Feature

·2026.06.16 02:19

Key point

datasette-agent, an LLM-based data analysis tool, has been updated with a feature that performs SQL write operations after user approval.

Details

datasette-agent 0.3a0 version, a data analysis tool, has been released. The core of this update is the introduction of the execute_write_sql tool, which allows the LLM to apply changes directly to the database.

The key updates are as follows:

  • User approval mechanism: Before the LLM executes write SQL, it provides an interactive interface where the user can review and approve the query to be executed, the target table, and permissions.
  • Enhanced CLI mode: The datasette agent chat terminal mode supports the approval process, and the approval process can be automated or permissions expanded via the --root, --yes, and --unsafe options.
  • Text output support: To improve readability in CLI environments, an alternative plain text output is supported instead of HTML.

Now, using the --unsafe option, users can directly perform tasks such as creating database tables or adding data through models like GPT-5.5 using only natural language commands.
