Bash is the shell Agent0 uses to fetch live data from your environment. When you ask a question, Agent0 writes and runs bash commands behind the scenes — you never need to write or run any directly yourself.

The bash session runs in an isolated sandbox and cannot access or affect your production systems.

What Agent0 Uses Bash For

Agent0 uses bash to call Dash0 observability tools and process their output:

Query your services — list them, check their health, inspect dependencies
Search logs — filter by severity, time range, keywords, or any attribute
Find spans and traces — locate slow or failing requests across services
Run metric queries — calculate error rates, latency percentiles, throughput trends
Process results — combine data from multiple sources to answer a single question
