DataCharter
Query all your data locally. Hand agents exactly the columns you choose.
A local SQL workspace over files and databases, federated by DuckDB and governed by charter.yaml. Agents get read-only, PII-masked access to what the contract grants. Apache-2.0. No paid edition.

Two ways in. Same kernel.
Laptop
Drop a file. Query it. Chart it. An agent sees ••• where PII lives.
