Tools
Functions exposed to the LLM to take actions
| Name | Description |
|---|---|
| create_sessionA | Spawn an interactive terminal session (REPL, shell, database client, SSH, etc.). Returns a session_id for subsequent commands. |
| send_commandA | Send a command/input to an interactive session and wait for output. Appends newline automatically. Returns clean text output (no ANSI codes). If a dangerous command is detected, you must use confirm_dangerous_command first. |
| read_outputA | Read the current terminal screen without sending any input. Safe read-only operation. |
| list_sessionsA | List all active interactive terminal sessions. Safe read-only operation. |
| close_sessionB | Close/kill an interactive terminal session. |
| send_controlA | Send a control character or special key to a session (e.g., ctrl+c to interrupt, ctrl+d to send EOF, arrow keys, tab for completion). |
| confirm_dangerous_commandA | Execute a command that was flagged as dangerous by send_command. Requires a justification explaining WHY the command is necessary. This is a separate confirmation step for safety. |
