# Run one terminal command in the worktree

`POST /v1/agent-runs/{runId}/workbench/terminal/commands`

Command-at-a-time execution in the run's sandbox worktree (WIBLO-130) — no PTY. The response is `text/event-stream`; each `data:` line is one `WorkbenchTerminalChunk` (stdout/stderr slices, an optional `truncated` marker at the 50KB stream cap, then a final `exit` frame). Output is EPHEMERAL: it never enters `agent_events`. Per-user rate-limited at 30/60s.

## Responses

**`200`** — A command output stream. The body is `text/event-stream`; each `data:` line is one `WorkbenchTerminalChunk` JSON object.

**`400`** — Body failed Zod validation (`VALIDATION_FAILED`) or the `cwd` escaped the worktree (`INVALID_FILE_PATH`). Returns `ApiErrorEnvelope`.

**`401`** — No valid session cookie or `wbl_*` bearer was present. Returns `ApiErrorEnvelope`.

**`404`** — No run visible to the caller with this id (`AGENT_RUN_NOT_FOUND`). Returns `ApiErrorEnvelope`.

**`409`** — No live sandbox session holds the worktree (`AGENT_SANDBOX_UNAVAILABLE`). Returns `ApiErrorEnvelope`.

**`422`** — Path param failed UUID validation (`INVALID_PARAMS`). Returns `ApiErrorEnvelope`.

**`429`** — Rate limit exceeded. The body's `error.code` is `RATE_LIMITED` and `error.details.retry_after` is the same number of seconds as the `Retry-After` header. Returns `ApiErrorEnvelope`.
