ShellTools enable an Agent to interact with the shell to run commands.

​
Example

The following agent will run a shell command and show contents of the current directory.
Mention your OS to the agent to make sure it runs the correct command.
cookbook/tools/shell_tools.py
from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.shell import ShellTools

agent = Agent(tools=[ShellTools()], show_tool_calls=True)
agent.print_response("Show me the contents of the current directory", markdown=True)
