Shell

Use shell tools with Agno agents.

Enable Agno agents to interact directly with the operating system’s terminal, allowing them to perform file system operations, run scripts, and manage system processes

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.shell import ShellTools

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


agent = Agent(tools=[ShellTools()])

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent.print_response("Show me the contents of the current directory", markdown=True)
