## TerminalToolkit

```python
class TerminalToolkit(BaseToolkit):
```

A toolkit for LLM agents to execute and interact with terminal commands
in either a local or a sandboxed Docker environment.

**Parameters:**

- **timeout** (Optional[float]): The default timeout in seconds for blocking commands. Defaults to 20.0.
- **working_directory** (Optional[str]): The base directory for operations. For the local backend, this acts as a security sandbox. For the Docker backend, this sets the working directory inside the container. If not specified, defaults to "./workspace" for local and "/workspace" for Docker.
- **use_docker_backend** (bool): If True, all commands are executed in a Docker container. Defaults to False.
- **docker_container_name** (Optional[str]): The name of the Docker container to use. Required if use_docker_backend is True.
- **session_logs_dir** (Optional[str]): The directory to store session logs. Defaults to a 'terminal_logs' subfolder in the working directory.
- **safe_mode** (bool): Whether to apply security checks to commands. Defaults to True.
- **allowed_commands** (Optional[List[str]]): List of allowed commands when safe_mode is True. If None, uses default safety rules.
- **clone_current_env** (bool): Whether to clone the current Python environment for local execution. Defaults to False.
- **install_dependencies** (List): A list of user specified libraries to install.
- **enable_other_runtimes** (list[Runtime]): List of additional language runtimes to auto-install. Supported values are `__INLINE_CODE_0____INLINE_CODE_1____INLINE_CODE_2____INLINE_CODE_3____INLINE_CODE_4__`.

**Returns:**

  A tuple of (exit_code, output_bytes). The exit code is `__INLINE_CODE_0__`
when `__INLINE_CODE_1__` is False.

<a id="camel.toolkits.terminal_toolkit.terminal_toolkit.TerminalToolkit._collect_output_until_idle"></a>

### _collect_output_until_idle

```python
def _collect_output_until_idle(
    self,
    id: str,
    idle_duration: float = 0.5,
    max_wait: float = 5.0
):
```

Collects output from a session until it's idle or a max wait time
is reached.

**Parameters:**

- **id** (str): The session ID.
- **idle_duration** (float): How long the stream must be empty to be considered idle.(default: 0.5)
- **max_wait** (float): The maximum total time to wait for the process to go idle. (default: 5.0)

**Returns:**

  str: The collected output. If max_wait is reached while
the process is still outputting, a warning is appended.

<a id="camel.toolkits.terminal_toolkit.terminal_toolkit.TerminalToolkit.shell_exec"></a>

### shell_exec

```python
def shell_exec(
    self,
    id: str,
    command: str,
    block: bool = True,
    timeout: float = 20.0
):
```

Executes a shell command in blocking or non-blocking mode.

**Parameters:**

- **id** (str): A unique identifier for the command's session. This ID is used to interact with non-blocking processes.
- **command** (str): The shell command to execute.
- **block** (bool, optional): Determines the execution mode. Defaults to True. If `True` (blocking mode), the function waits for the command to complete and returns the full output. Use this for most commands. If `False` (non-blocking mode), the function starts the command in the background. Use this only for interactive sessions or long-running tasks, or servers.
- **timeout** (float, optional): The maximum time in seconds to wait for the command to complete in blocking mode. If the command does not complete within the timeout, it will be converted to a tracked background session (process keeps running without restart). You can then use `shell_view(id)` to check output, or `shell_kill_process(id)` to terminate it. This parameter is ignored in non-blocking mode. (default: :obj:`20`)

**Returns:**

  str: The output of the command execution, which varies by mode.
In blocking mode, returns the complete standard output and
standard error from the command.
In non-blocking mode, returns a confirmation message with the
session `id`. To interact with the background process, use
other functions: `shell_view(id)` to see output,
`shell_write_to_process(id, "input")` to send input, and
`shell_kill_process(id)` to terminate.

<a id="camel.toolkits.terminal_toolkit.terminal_toolkit.TerminalToolkit.shell_write_to_process"></a>

### shell_write_to_process

```python
def shell_write_to_process(self, id: str, command: str):
```

This function sends command to a running non-blocking
process and returns the resulting output after the process
becomes idle again. A newline \n is automatically appended
to the input command.

**Parameters:**

- **id** (str): The unique session ID of the non-blocking process.
- **command** (str): The text to write to the process's standard input.

**Returns:**

  str: The output from the process after the command is sent.

### shell_view

```python
def shell_view(self, id: str):
```

Retrieves new output from a non-blocking session.

This function returns only NEW output since the last call. It does NOT
wait or block - it returns immediately with whatever is available.

**Parameters:**

- **id** (str): The unique session ID of the non-blocking process.

**Returns:**

  str: New output if available, or a status message.

<a id="camel.toolkits.terminal_toolkit.terminal_toolkit.TerminalToolkit.shell_kill_process"></a>

### shell_kill_process

```python
def shell_kill_process(self, id: str):
```

This function forcibly terminates a running non-blocking process.

**Parameters:**

- **id** (str): The unique session ID of the process to kill.

**Returns:**

  str: A confirmation message indicating the process was terminated.

### shell_ask_user_for_help

```python
def shell_ask_user_for_help(self, id: str, prompt: str):
```

This function pauses execution and asks a human for help
with an interactive session.

This method can handle different scenarios:
1. If session exists: Shows session output and allows interaction
2. If session doesn't exist: Creates a temporary session for help

**Parameters:**

- **id** (str): The session ID of the interactive process needing help. Can be empty string for general help without session context.
- **prompt** (str): The question or instruction from the LLM to show the human user (e.g., "The program is asking for a filename. Please enter 'config.json'.").

**Returns:**

  str: The output from the shell session after the user's command has
been executed, or help information for general queries.
