06Frequently asked questions
Does dshline create a separate agent runtime?
No. The README says it runs in-process as a direct consumer of Harness capabilities rather than creating a parallel runtime or state layer.
How do I install it?
Run `npm install -g @deepseek-ai/dsh @dshline/dshline`, then start `dshline`.
Are tool permissions controlled by dshline?
No. Sandbox and tool permissions are controlled by the active Harness profile, and ordinary calls may run without per-call review.
