- Who it helps
- Teams using agents to build database-backed internal apps.
- Availability
- November 4 prerelease requires Datasette 1.0a41 or higher. It adds Python 3.15 support and drops Python 3.10.
What changed
App creation checks that requested stored queries exist and are visible to the user. New tools add or remove query access; granting write access requires approval. App references can be tagged in chat.
Before upgrading
Check the Python and Datasette requirements, then test a read query and a write-query request against a disposable database. Confirm that denying approval prevents the requested grant.
