Datasette Agent gets a MicroPython sandbox for safe AI-generated code execution

“GPT-5.5 has so far failed to break out of the sandbox!”

Simon Willison released an alpha plugin that runs MicroPython (via WebAssembly) as a sandbox for Datasette Agent to safely generate and execute Python code. Early testing shows the sandbox holds against GPT-5.5 escape attempts. This is a niche but technically interesting approach to safe AI code execution in a data tool context.
