datasette-agent-micropython 0.1a0

Datasette released version 0.1a0 of datasette-agent-micropython on June 2, 2026, enabling MicroPython execution within a WASM sandbox as a tool for Datasette Agent. The alpha release aims to allow the agent to generate and execute Python code safely, with GPT-5.5 reportedly failing to break out of the sandbox so far.
