  • read-commandExecute allowlisted read-only commands (`ls`, `cat`, `grep`, ...)
  • run-commandExecute arbitrary commands (destructive/privileged need approval, unless `approvalPolicy = "auto"`)
  • privileged-commandExecute with sudo (needs approval, unless `approvalPolicy = "auto"`)

  • sftp-downloadDownload a file via SFTP
  • sftp-listList a remote directory, bounded in entries and bytes
  • sftp-upload-fileStream a local file to the remote host, never through model context
