Get all bash command outputs from a Jules session. Returns commands executed, their stdout/stderr, and exit codes. Use to understand what shell commands were run.
AI agents call get_bash_outputs to retrieve information from Jules MCP Server without modifying anything — typically the context-gathering step in research, monitoring, and reporting workflows, before the agent takes action elsewhere.
This tool retrieves and displays information about previously executed bash commands and their outputs. It does not execute new commands, modify data, delete anything, or trigger financial operations. It is purely informational—reading the results of past shell activity from a Jules session.
From the tool's definition Tool description states 'Get all bash command outputs' and 'Returns commands executed, their stdout/stderr, and exit codes.' The verb 'Get' and action of retrieving historical command execution data indicates a read-only operation with no side effects.

Get all bash command outputs from a Jules session. Returns commands executed, their stdout/stderr, and exit codes. Use to understand what shell commands were run. It is categorised as a Read tool in the Jules MCP Server MCP Server, which means it retrieves data without modifying state.
Register the Jules MCP Server MCP server in PolicyLayer and add a rule for get_bash_outputs: allow, deny, rate-limit, or require approval. Point your MCP client at the PolicyLayer proxy URL and the rule is enforced on every call, before it reaches Jules MCP Server. Nothing to install.
get_bash_outputs is a Read tool with low risk. Read-only tools are generally safe to allow by default.
Yes. Add a rate_limit block to the get_bash_outputs rule in your PolicyLayer policy. For example, setting max: 10 and window: 60 limits the tool to 10 calls per minute. Rate limits are tracked per agent session and reset automatically.
Set action: deny in the PolicyLayer policy for get_bash_outputs. The AI agent will receive a policy violation error and cannot call the tool. You can also include a reason field to explain why the tool is blocked.
get_bash_outputs is provided by the Jules MCP Server MCP server (streetquant/jules-mcp). PolicyLayer sits as a proxy in front of this server to enforce policies before tool calls reach the server.
