Datasette Apps 0.3a0 released with improved Agent integration
Understand this story
Simon Willison released Datasette Apps 0.3a0, improving the app's integration with Datasette Agent. When users type # in a chat message, it autocompletes and marks apps they have permission to view. The new version adds app_add_stored_queries() and app_remove_stored_queries() tools, letting the agent manage stored queries that apps can call. Willison said granting write queries requires user approval first; app_create() now checks whether each requested stored query exists and whether the user can view it, and asks the user to approve any write queries before creating the app. Datasette Apps is used to host and edit custom HTML apps within Datasette.

Datasette Apps 0.3a0 improves its integration with Datasette Agent: apps can now be tagged in chat messages by typing #, which autocompletes from apps the user has permission to view. New app_add_stored_queries() and app_remove_stored_queries() tools let the agent manage which stored queries an app can call, with write queries requiring user approval, and app_create() now verifies each requested stored query exists and is viewable and asks the user to approve write queries before creating the app. The "View app" buttons and # app reference links now open the app full screen in the Datasette Agent panel.
