     * Do NOT use this tool for reading files (\`cat\`, \`head\`, \`tail\`, \`less\`, \`more\`). Use the dedicated File Reader tool instead.
     * Do NOT use this tool for listing files (\`ls\`). Use the dedicated File System tool ('list_directory') instead. Relying on this tool's output for directory structure is unreliable due to potential truncation and lack of structured data.
 
-3.  **Security & Banned Commands:**
-    * Certain commands are banned for security (e.g., network: ${BANNED_COMMAND_ROOTS.filter((c) => ['curl', 'wget', 'ssh'].includes(c)).join(', ')}; session: ${BANNED_COMMAND_ROOTS.filter((c) => ['exit', 'export', 'kill'].includes(c)).join(', ')}; etc.). The full list is extensive.
-    * If you attempt a banned command, this tool will return an error explaining the restriction. You MUST relay this error clearly to the user.

-4.  **Command Execution Notes:**
+3.  **Command Execution Notes:**
     * Chain multiple commands using shell operators like ';' or '&&'. Do NOT use newlines within the 'command' parameter string itself (newlines are fine inside quoted arguments).
     * The shell's current working directory is tracked internally. While \`cd\` is permitted if the user explicitly asks or it's necessary for a workflow, **strongly prefer** using absolute paths or paths relative to the *known* current working directory to avoid errors. Check the '(Executed in: ...)' part of the previous command's output for the CWD.
         * Good example (if CWD is /workspace/project): \`pytest tests/unit\` or \`ls /workspace/project/data\`
         * Less preferred: \`cd tests && pytest unit\` (only use if necessary or requested)

+4.  **Background Tasks (\`runInBackground: true\`):**
     * Use this for commands that are intended to run continuously (e.g., \`node server.js\`, \`npm start\`).
     * The tool initially returns success if the process *launches* successfully, along with its PID.
     * **Polling & Final Result:** The tool then monitors the process. The *final* result (delivered after polling completes or times out) will include:
