> gatecmd — oohehir-gatecmd. Use this tool when you need to securely execute pre-approved host commands from AI agents inside virtual machines, particularly for flashing embedded devices where USB passthrough is not feasible. It solves problems of secure command execution and device flashing, accepting bearer token authentication and YAML allowlists as inputs. The gatecmd tool provides a controlled interface for AI agents to interact with host systems, making it ideal for use cases requiring trusted command execution.
