Smart Terminal Tools (17)

terminal_start

Start a new interactive terminal session.

terminal_exec

Execute a command with deterministic completion detection. Large outputs are truncated to head + tail based on `maxLines`. If the MCP client sends a `progressToken`, long-running calls may also emit best-effort `notifications/progress` updates.

terminal_run

Run a one-shot non-interactive command using `cmd + args` with `shell=false`. Safer than `terminal_exec` for predictable automation. Output is capped by `maxOutputBytes` rather than head + tail truncation. Shell built-ins such as `dir` or `cd` are not supported. On Windows, `terminal_run` resolves…

terminal_write

Write raw data to a terminal (for interactive programs). Follow with `terminal_read`.
