This pull request corrects an inconsistency and clarifies the documentation for the LocalShellTool.

Currently, the LocalShellTool is listed under the "Hosted tools" section, which is misleading as it does not run on an LLM server. This PR adds a note that explicitly states the tool is not hosted and runs on the local machine. The change also includes a warning about permissions and security, which is critical for users to understand when using a tool that interacts with their local environment.

This update will improve the documentation's accuracy and help developers use the tool safely and correctly.

Indeed, the tool is confusing, but instead of updating the page with more words, we prefer updating the docstring to have the detailed document page link: https://platform.openai.com/docs/guides/tools-local-shell
