Definition and scope

What this capability means

This capability covers a built-in, permissioned route for an agent to propose or execute shell commands in its working environment. It does not claim unattended execution, access beyond the selected workspace, a particular shell, or identical approval behavior.

Only current product documentation is used here. Preview tracks and unreviewed surfaces remain unknown.

Evidence
  1. 1. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Claude Code documents Bash as a permission-controlled tool and provides CLI modes for agentic command execution.
  2. 2. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Cursor Agent documents running terminal commands while completing coding tasks.
  3. 3. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: OpenAI documents Codex CLI as able to run code and commands locally in the selected directory.
  4. 4. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Gemini CLI's official tool reference includes the `run_shell_command` tool with workspace and approval controls.
  5. 5. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: VS Code documents terminal tools for agent mode, with user-configurable approval and auto-approval behavior.
  6. 6. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: OpenWork's OpenCode-backed runtime includes shell execution, with permission requests surfaced in the desktop app and policy controlled by the host.
  7. 7. Evidence checked 2026-08-28: Grok Bot's persistent cloud computer includes a command line and filesystem; local-computer commands are a separate capability controlled by a desktop approval policy.
