Search command outputs
search_outputRead-onlyIdempotent
Search over recorded terminal commands and their outputs. Find every command that printed a specific message, with context like time, directory, and exit code.
Instructions
Full-text search over recorded terminal commands AND their outputs — finds e.g. every command that ever printed 'connection refused'. Returns plain text, one block per match: id, time, cwd, exit code, the command line, and a snippet around the match (secrets are masked by default). Use this to FIND which command said something; use list_commands to browse recent history without a search term, and get_output to read a full output once you have an id. No matches returns an empty result, not an error. Read-only: never re-runs anything.
