Expose Datasette instances to LLM as a tool

## Installation

Install this plugin in the same environment as [LLM](https://llm.datasette.io/). You'll need at least the [0.26a1 alpha](https://llm.datasette.io/en/latest/changelog.html#a1-2025-05-25).
```bash
llm install llm-tools-datasette
```
## Usage

First find the URL to a _database_ within your Datasette instance. For example, `https://datasette.io/content`.

To use this with the [LLM command-line tool](https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/usage.html):


```bash
llm --tool 'Datasette("https://datasette.io/content")' "Show tables" --td
```

This plugin works well with `llm chat`:

```bash
llm chat --tool 'Datasette("https://datasette.io/content")' --td
```
(Omit the `--td` option if you don't want to see debugging details.)

With the [LLM Python API](https://llm.datasette.io/en/stable/python-api.html):

```python
import llm
from llm_tools_datasette import Datasette

model = llm.get_model("gpt-4.1-mini")

result = model.chain(
    "Show most interesting tables",
    tools=[Datasette("https://datasette.io/content")],
).text()
```

## Development

To set up this plugin locally, first checkout the code. Then create a new virtual environment:
```bash
cd llm-tools-datasette
python -m venv venv
source venv/bin/activate
```
Now install the dependencies and test dependencies:
```bash
llm install -e '.[test]'
```
To run the tests:
```bash
python -m pytest
```
