It prevents costly mistakes and inconsistent workflows by standardizing how an agent decides between VS Code/MCP tools and terminal commands for reads, edits, searches, tests, and Git actions.
cat/sed/awk/echo, no grep/find, no raw git CLI).runTests tool only, with explicit prohibitions on terminal test commands like pytest, jest, or dotnet test.Ask an AI to follow tool-usage rules for your request and it will select the correct tool for file edits and verification, run tests through runTests, and apply language-native lint/type gates using the appropriate reference guidance.

To ensure AI agents use VS Code tools instead of unsafe terminal commands, apply tool-first routing rules that prohibit shell equivalents like cat, sed, awk, echo, grep, and find. This standardization enforces safe tool-based interactions for file edits, searches, and Git operations.
Running tests via runTests overrides terminal commands like pytest or jest to guarantee reliable test execution. Enforcing runTests-only testing prevents inconsistent workflows and avoids terminal test command workarounds during automated code verification.
To control script execution and prevent terminal workarounds, require showing the script and asking the user to enable snippet execution tools. This controlled script execution approach stops agents from running code snippets directly through terminal runtimes.
The best way to standardize Git operations without the raw git CLI is to enforce tool-based interactions. Tool-first routing rules direct agents to use specified tools for Git actions, preventing costly mistakes from forbidden shell commands.
Yes, tool routing guidance supports language-specific verification for Python and TypeScript. It uses dedicated references for Python, TypeScript, Java, and C# to choose the right checks and apply language-native lint and type gates after modifications.
