Help me update the Internal Agents Map record for Datako at Airbnb.

Repository: https://github.com/steel-experiments/internal-agents-map
Record: data/agents/airbnb-datako.yaml
Published record: https://internal-agents.com/agents/airbnb-datako
Readable context: https://internal-agents.com/agents/airbnb-datako.md

Use the correction or public source I provide in this conversation. If I have not supplied either, ask what I want changed before editing.

Use an existing checkout of this repository, or clone it if needed. Read the current record from the repository. Follow AGENTS.md, CONTRIBUTING.md, and the relevant instructions in data/schema.md.

Verify that the evidence supports the requested change. Preserve uncertainty and distinguish reported facts from catalog judgments. Follow the repository process for capturing new sources. If evidence is insufficient, explain the gap instead of inventing details.

Make a focused change on a branch. Regenerate derived files and run the required checks. Do not edit generated content by hand.

Show me the change, supporting evidence, and check results, including any checks you could not run. Ask whether to submit a pull request unless I already requested one. Do not merge the pull request. If you cannot edit the repository, prepare a source-backed issue draft.

Citations link to the original publisher. Each source also keeps a preserved copy in the repository, so a changed or removed page stays checkable.
