datasette-agent 0.4a0 Lets Agent Tools Run JavaScript in Your Browser
Datasette Agent 0.4a0 adds a browser_task mechanism that lets agent plugin tools execute custom JavaScript directly in the user's browser instead of on the server.
What it is
Datasette Agent 0.4a0 is a release of the Datasette agent plugin framework that adds an `await context.browser_task()` mechanism for plugin tools.
What it does
It lets a Datasette Agent plugin tool run arbitrary JavaScript in the user's own browser session, rather than executing all tool logic server-side, as described in the release notes.
Why it matters
Browser-side execution gives agent tools access to client-only context like the DOM or local browser state, something a server-side-only tool call can't reach.
How to use it
Update to datasette-agent 0.4a0 and use `context.browser_task()` inside a plugin tool when you need code to run in the user's browser rather than on the server.
