-A data analysis agent is an AI system that takes natural language questions about data and autonomously generates SQL queries, executes Python/pandas code, creates visualizations, and produces natural language summaries. This pattern powers tools like ChatGPT Code Interpreter, Jupyter AI, and enterprise analytics platforms. This guide covers the architecture, sandboxed execution, and working code for building your own.+A data analysis agent is an AI system that takes natural language questions about data and autonomously generates SQL queries, executes Python/pandas code, creates visualizations, and produces natural language summaries.

-Data analysis agents follow a plan-execute-interpret loop. The agent receives a question, inspects the data schema, generates code (SQL or Python), executes it in a sandbox, interprets the results, and optionally generates visualizations.+Data analysis agents follow a plan-execute-interpret loop.
