How scores are computed: source quality score.

Where to start

Highest composite score first:

  1. Agent-in-the-Loop Review score 35.75 — intermediate
  2. Keep an agent read-only until a human approves score 34.15 — beginner
  3. What makes an agent — model, tools, loop, guardrails score 34.15 — beginner

Scores rank provenance, completeness and trust — read how verification works before adopting anything.

Cautions and limitations

Known limits: A purely local sandbox with no real data (Agent-in-the-Loop Review)

Production use cases

  • Agent-in-the-Loop Review — Coding agents can do real data-engineering work, but can also ship a schema change or drop a table. details
  • Keep an agent read-only until a human approves — Coding agents can do real data-engineering work, but can also ship a schema change or drop a table. Walk the Agent-in-the-Loop Review pattern: separate read/recommend from write/ex… details
  • What makes an agent — model, tools, loop, guardrails — Build the map before touching anything: an agent is a model that reasons, tools that act, a loop that iterates, and guardrails that bound it. Meet a real data-engineering agent fro… details
  • Hooks — deterministic gates around an agent — The model can be talked into anything; a hook is code on the tool path. Walk the four safety hooks every data repo should know — destructive-SQL guard, prod write confirmation, sec… details
