Terminal Tool Module
A terminal tool that executes commands in local, Docker, Modal, SSH, Singularity, and Daytona environments.
Supports local execution, containerized backends, and Modal cloud sandboxes, including managed gateway mode.
Environment Selection (via TERMINAL_ENV environment variable):
- "local": Execute directly on the host machine (default, fastest)
- "docker": Execute in Docker containers (isolated, requires Docker)
- "modal": Execute in Modal cloud sandboxes (direct Modal or managed gateway)
Features:
- Multiple execution backends (local, docker, modal)
- Background task support
- VM/container lifecycle management
- Automatic cleanup after inactivity
Cloud sandbox note:
- Persistent filesystems preserve working state across sandbox recreation
- Persistent filesystems do NOT guarantee the same live sandbox or long-running processes survive cleanup, idle reaping, or Hermes exit
Usage:
from terminal_tool import terminal_tool
# Execute a simple command
result = terminal_tool("ls -la")
# Execute in background
result = terminal_tool("python server.py", background=True)

Transform sudo commands to use -S flag if SUDO_PASSWORD is available.
This is a shared helper used by all execution environments to provide
consistent sudo handling across local, SSH, and container environments.
Returns:
(transformed_command, sudo_stdin) where:
- transformed_command has every bare ``sudo`` replaced with
``sudo -S -p ''`` so sudo reads its password from stdin.
- sudo_stdin is the password string with a trailing newline that the
caller must prepend to the process's stdin stream. sudo -S reads
exactly one line (the password) and passes the rest of stdin to the
child command, so prepending is safe even when the caller also has
its own stdin_data to pipe.
- If no password is available, sudo_stdin is None and the command is
returned unchanged so it fails gracefully with
"sudo: a password is required".
Callers that drive a subprocess directly (local, ssh, docker, singularity)
should prepend sudo_stdin to their stdin_data and pass the merged bytes to
Popen's stdin pipe.
Callers that cannot pipe subprocess stdin (modal, daytona) must embed the
password in the command string themselves; see their execute() methods for
how they handle the non-None sudo_stdin case.

Do NOT use ls to list directories — use search_files(target='files') instead.
Do NOT use sed/awk to edit files — use patch instead.
Do NOT use echo/cat heredoc to create files — use write_file instead.
Reserve terminal for: builds, installs, git, processes, scripts, network, package managers, and anything that needs a shell.
Foreground (default): Commands return INSTANTLY when done, even if the timeout is high. Set timeout=300 for long builds/scripts — you'll still get the result in seconds if it's fast. Prefer foreground for short commands.
Background: Set background=true to get a session_id. Two patterns:
(1) Long-lived processes that never exit (servers, watchers).
(2) Long-running tasks with notify_on_complete=true — you can keep working on other things and the system auto-notifies you when the task finishes. Great for test suites, builds, deployments, or anything that takes more than a minute.
Use process(action="poll") for progress checks, process(action="wait") to block until done.
Working directory: Use 'workdir' for per-command cwd.
PTY mode: Set pty=true for interactive CLI tools (Codex, Claude Code, Python REPL).
Do NOT use vim/nano/interactive tools without pty=true — they hang without a pseudo-terminal. Pipe git output to cat if it might page.
