defineTool now runs validateArgs against the SchemaSpec before execute, so a malformed model call returns a self-correctable isError result listing the violations instead of reaching the typed body untyped-in-practice. The validator mirrors schemaSpecToJsonSchema semantics exactly (required from required:true only, extra keys allowed, default not applied, object/array without properties/items only type-checks, enum membership). tool-bash's hand-rolled type/required checks (carrying the TODO(RFC 005) stopgap note) are slimmed to just the value constraints the DSL can't express (non-empty strings, positive timeout). Graduates RFC 005 pt 1 to ADR 0011.
@deepseek-ai/dsh-tool-bash
The model-facing bash tools — bash, bash_output, bash_kill — registered over the ctx.bash executor seam (@deepseek-ai/dsh-bash). Pure schema + text shaping; every process concern lives behind the seam, so sandboxed or remote executor implementations swap in without changing what the model sees.
Requires a loaded executor implementation (e.g. @deepseek-ai/dsh-bash-local); the plugin stays pending until ctx.bash exists (inject: ['tools', 'bash']).
Tools
bash
| Arg | Type | Notes |
|---|---|---|
command |
string (required) | Run via bash -c. No state persists between calls — use workdir, not cd. |
description |
string (required) | One-line, active-voice summary of the command (5-10 words), for UI/log display only — no effect on execution. |
timeoutMs |
number | Default/max from executor config (120s/600s for bash-local). |
workdir |
string | Working directory for this call. |
run_in_background |
boolean | Return a task id immediately; no timeout applies. |
command, workdir, and timeoutMs are resolved against the executor's config defaults via ctx.bash.resolve() before execution, so the executor seam (BashExecSpec) receives explicit workdir/timeoutMs values.
Result text: stdout, then a [stderr] section, then status markers — [timed out after Nms] whenever the executor's timer fired (reported independently of how the process ended, so a command that traps SIGTERM and exits 0 still shows it), [killed by signal: …] for a signal death, [exit code: N] for a non-zero exit (reported, not isError: the model decides how to react), and [output truncated; full output: <path>] when the tail was kept. Only infrastructure failures (spawn errors, aborts) surface as isError results.
bash_output
task_id → output produced since the previous bash_output call plus a status line (running / completed, exit code: N / killed). Reads that lost data to buffer bounds say so and point at the full-output spill file.
bash_kill
task_id → SIGTERM→SIGKILL on the task's process group. Killing an already-finished task is a reported no-op; unknown ids are errors.
Background completion notices
When a background task finishes, a short notice is injected into the owning agent's session (agent.inject(), source {kind: 'plugin', plugin: 'tool-bash'}). Injection is durable context for the next model request, not a wake-up — an idle agent stays idle until something sends a message. That's why the tool descriptions tell the model to poll with bash_output.
Permissions
TODO(permissions): commands run with the executor's full authority. The permission/sandbox seam is the tools/execute waterfall (veto or ask) plus sandboxing BashExecutor implementations — see docs/architecture.md. @cordisjs/plugin-capability (a named-permission service with a session test()) is a candidate building block for that work.
