• I have searched the existing issues

Summary 💡

For the time being, any time an agent needs to compute a calculation it needs to resort to CLI tools (which may be disabled) or to writing/executing custom Python code.

Given that calculations are such a common/useful thing, it would probably make sense to come up with a dedicated plugin that adds a "do_calculation" command, based on handing that to a Python library like SymPy/

No response

Motivation 🔦

get rid of having to write custom python code or having to invoke platform specific CLI tools that may not be accessible for some users.

Not sure about this one, but I do think it brings up a good point about Inversion of Control. The commands written for this repository should be loosely coupled, so they can be hotswapped with other implementations.

on any *nix platform, there is zero problem obviously, because you inevitably have got access to stuff like bc and friends. But this being a cross-platform project ...
