01

The right environment

Commands run on the selected device with its installed tools.

02

Explicit working directory

Specify the project directory so commands target the correct repository.

03

Long-running tasks

Start a process and read its output until completion.

Get started

  1. Enable the terminal locally

    Enable Allow programs and commands on the target device and review its OS account permissions.

  2. Review the command

    Ask the AI to show the command and working directory before system changes or deployments.

  3. Check completion

    After execution, inspect output, exit status and test results. Long sessions need subsequent output reads.

Example task

A prompt for your AI
On Linux dev, in /srv/project, show the test command first. After approval, run it and check the exit status.

Permissions

File permissions do not constrain the shell. Commands have the OS user capabilities. Use a separate user, container or VM for tighter isolation.

Details

Command or process

Run short checks synchronously. Start a build or development server as a managed process and inspect its output.

Secrets in commands

Do not paste passwords or tokens into ordinary AI requests. Use the project’s existing secure environment configuration.

Frequently asked questions

Is terminal access enabled by default?

No. Enable it locally and independently of folder access.

Can I run tests without terminal access?

Not through shell tools. Without terminal access, AI can read code and suggest commands for you to run.

How do I stop a long task?

Use process-session controls. Terminating unrelated OS processes needs a separate local permission.
