 ### autocommit
 
-Unimplemented.
+The driver only supports the legacy `isolation_level`-based transaction mode control and does not implement the `autocommit` property yet (see issue [#30](https://github.com/libsql/libsql-experimental-python/issues/30) for details).

 ### isolation_level
 
-Unimplemented.
+Transaction handling mode configuration. If `isolation_level` is set to `"DEFERRED"`, `"IMMEDIATE"`, or `"EXCLUSIVE"`, transactions begin implicitly, but need to be committed manually. If `isolation_level` is set to `None`, then database is in auto-commit mode, executing each statement in its own transaction.
