Datasette Agent

LLM-powered agent assistant for Datasette, Simon Willison's tool for exploring and publishing structured data in SQLite. A chat interface at /-/agent answers natural-language questions against databases: the agent writes and runs SQL (save_query, execute_write_sql tools), explores data in the background, and renders results. Uses the datasette-llm plugin to call models and exposes an extensible tool surface (charts, image generation) for third-party tools.
