Let nao AI run terminal commands

From the chat sidebar you can ask nao AI to run terminal commands on your behalf (for example, “run tests” or “install dependencies”). The agent will:
  1. Suggest the command it plans to run.
  2. Wait for your approval.
  3. Execute the command in the integrated terminal and stream back the output.
You can read more about command execution permissions and guardrails in the nao agent tools.
