Command Execution Policy
Use this order for scoped commands:
- Check context first (conversation, prior outputs, known values).
- Run discovery commands when required values are missing.
- Ask the user only when values remain ambiguous.
- Run the target command after required inputs are known.
- Avoid speculative commands likely to fail.
