Risk Assessment

Autonomous CLI control: Tool enables AI agents to autonomously control interactive shell CLIs (vim, psql, ssh, docker, etc.) without explicit per-command approval
Full PTY emulation: Implements complete pseudo-terminal emulation with stdin/stdout/stderr control, allowing unrestricted command execution
Multi-mode operation including 'dispatch' mode: Enables fire-and-forget task delegation to subagents with notifications rather than synchronous approval gates
Interactive shell access: `interactive_shell()` function allows agents to spawn and control arbitrary interactive processes
Persistent session management: Session-manager.ts maintains stateful CLI connections across multiple agent turns without reset
Hands-free mode: Agent operates asynchronously polling session status, reducing human oversight of ongoing operations
