Shell command function

[Natsu-Dragneel-Aka]

Hi,
am getting this error while using shell command though same is True.

EXT ACTION: COMMAND = execute_shell ARGUMENTS = {'command_line': 'blender'}
SYSTEM: Command execute_shell returned: You are not allowed to run local shell commands. To execute shell commands, EXECUTE_LOCAL_COMMANDS must be set to 'True' in your config. Do not attempt to bypass the restriction.

any idea?

EXECUTE_LOCAL_COMMANDS is included in the file env.template and is set to False. Somehow, it was missing in my .env file so I have added the line:
EXECUTE_LOCAL_COMMANDS=True

Hello, can you explain me what is EXECUTE_LOCAL_COMMANDS for?
Thanks in advanced.

It will allow Auto-GPT to execute commands in the command prompt (cmd, shell). This means it can do essentially anything on your pc, like change your settings, run or install programs and scripts, delete and create files outside of its predefined work directory, etc.
In case Natsu-Dragneel-Aka posted, Auto-GPT tried to run Blender through the commandline.

For example, imagine you give it a task to get some data from a specific website. GPT can decide to install a website parser through the command line. It can't do that if EXECUTE_LOCAL_COMMANDS is false or missing.

This could also lead to a lot of unnecessary mess installed.

Ok, thanks for reply.

Hi. What if I need to add a folder inside workspace directory? Can I add path in .env file or i need to have "EXECUTE_LOCAL_COMMANDS" true?

bruv what does this even mean Command execute_shell returned: Error: This Shell Command is not allowed.
