| 1 | +# Local Tools |
| 2 | + |
| 3 | +The Nexent platform provides a rich set of local tools that help agents complete various system-level tasks and local operations. These tools provide agents with powerful execution capabilities through direct interaction with local systems or remote servers. |
| 4 | + |
| 5 | +## 🛠️ Available Tools |
| 6 | + |
| 7 | +### Terminal Tool |
| 8 | + |
| 9 | +**[Terminal Tool](./terminal-tool)** is one of the core local tools of the Nexent platform, allowing agents to execute commands on remote servers through SSH connections. |
| 10 | + |
| 11 | +**Key Features**: |
| 12 | +- Remote server management |
| 13 | +- System monitoring and status checking |
| 14 | +- File operations and directory management |
| 15 | +- Service start/stop and configuration management |
| 16 | +- Log viewing and analysis |
| 17 | + |
| 18 | +**Use Cases**: |
| 19 | +- Server operations automation |
| 20 | +- System monitoring and alerting |
| 21 | +- Batch file processing |
| 22 | +- Deployment and release management |
| 23 | +- Troubleshooting and diagnostics |
| 24 | + |
| 25 | +## 🔧 Tool Configuration |
| 26 | + |
| 27 | +All local tools need to be configured in the agent configuration: |
| 28 | + |
| 29 | +1. Navigate to the **[Agent Configuration](../agent-configuration)** page |
| 30 | +2. Select the agent to configure |
| 31 | +3. Find the corresponding local tool in the "Select Agent Tools" tab |
| 32 | +4. Click the configuration button and fill in the necessary connection parameters |
| 33 | +5. Test the connection to ensure configuration is correct |
| 34 | +6. Save the configuration and enable the tool |
| 35 | + |
| 36 | +## ⚠️ Security Considerations |
| 37 | + |
| 38 | +When using local tools, please pay attention to the following security considerations: |
| 39 | + |
| 40 | +- **Permission Control**: Create dedicated users for tools, follow the principle of least privilege |
| 41 | +- **Network Security**: Use VPN or IP whitelist to restrict access |
| 42 | +- **Authentication Security**: Prefer key-based authentication, regularly rotate keys |
| 43 | +- **Command Restrictions**: Configure command whitelist in production environments |
| 44 | +- **Audit Logging**: Enable detailed operation logging |
| 45 | + |
| 46 | +## 🚀 Next Steps |
| 47 | + |
| 48 | +After configuring local tools, you can: |
| 49 | + |
| 50 | +1. **[Agent Configuration](../agent-configuration)** - Add tools to agents |
| 51 | +2. **[Chat Interface](../chat-interface)** - Use tools through agents to execute tasks |
| 52 | + |
