tools/PowerShellTool/destructiveCommandWarning.ts
π― Use case
This module implements the βPowerShellToolβ tool (Power Shell) β something the model can call at runtime alongside other agent tools. On the API surface it exposes getDestructiveCommandWarning β mainly functions, hooks, or classes. What the file header says: Detects potentially destructive PowerShell commands and returns a warning string for display in the permission dialog. This is purely informational -- it doesn't affect permission logic or auto-approval.
Generated from folder role, exports, dependency roots, and inline comments β not hand-reviewed for every path.
π§ Inline summary
Detects potentially destructive PowerShell commands and returns a warning string for display in the permission dialog. This is purely informational -- it doesn't affect permission logic or auto-approval.
