# Local command execution

> Let the agent run commands on your own machine — with an explicit approval step.

Some tasks are best done from **your** machine — using your local CLIs and
sign-ins (for example, the guided [AWS](/connectors/aws) and
[GCP](/connectors/gcp) setup flows run your `aws`/`gcloud` CLI locally). For
these, the agent can run a command on your computer, but only after you approve
it.

## How it works

When the agent wants to run something locally, Nuphos surfaces the exact command
and waits for your consent before anything executes. You see what will run before
it runs.

## Approval settings

You control how much to confirm in **Settings → Personal → Auto-authorization**.
Tune this to your comfort level — require approval for every command while you
build trust, and relax it for routine, low-risk work later.

<Warning>
  Local commands run with your machine's permissions and your local credentials.
  Read the command before approving, especially anything that mutates state.
