**Release:** [datasette-agent 0.2a0](https://github.com/datasette/datasette-agent/releases/tag/0.2a0)

Highlights from the release notes:

- Tools can now ask the user questions mid-execution. Tools that declare a
`context`

parameter receive a`ToolContext`

object, and`await context.ask_user(...)`

can ask a yes/no, multiple-choice (`options=[...]`

) or free-text (`free_text=True`

) question. While a question is unanswered the agent turn suspends: the question renders as a form in the chat UI and persists to the internal database, so suspended conversations survive a server restart. Once answered, the tool re-executes from the top with stored answers replayed, so call`ask_user()`

before performing side effects.[#20]- New built-in
`save_query`

tool: the agent can save SQL it has written as a[Datasette stored query]. Saving always requires human approval - the agent shows the full SQL plus the proposed name, database and visibility, and nothing is stored until you click Yes.[#20]

The `ask_user()`

feature was enabled by the new LLM alpha I [built yesterday](https://simonwillison.net/2026/Jun/9/claude-fable-5/#adding-features-to-datasette-agent-and-llm-using-claude-code) with the help of Claude Fable 5.
