Description

With a tool that runs Python,

  • Won't need to escape/build terminal specific commands
  • Wont' need wait for terminal execution, which can be slower for a number of reasons
    (e.g. terminal tool some times timeout, cannot read output, asks me to try again and then it works, etc)
  • Doesn't rely on terminal to be setup correctly
  • Faster (as running in terminal requires at least two tool calls)

IMHO I think this will be cleaner and better from a UX perspective,
