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,
