# Add timeout support to workspace bash tool
This PR adds a timeout feature to the workspace bash tool, allowing
users to specify a maximum execution time for commands. Key changes
include:
- Added a `timeout_ms` parameter to control command execution time
(defaults to 60 seconds, with a maximum of 5 minutes)
- Implemented a new `executeCommandWithTimeout` function that properly
handles command timeouts
- Added proper output capturing during timeout scenarios, returning all
output collected before the timeout
- Updated documentation to explain the timeout feature and provide usage
examples
- Added comprehensive tests for the timeout functionality, including
integration tests
When a command times out, the tool now returns all captured output up to
that point along with a cancellation message, making it clear to users
what happened.
