.NET CLI Run Directive
July 7, 2026 · View on GitHub
This lets you prevent long agent timeout delays from running dotnet in a background terminal with insufficient access, where the agent does not detect the failure.
Use the agentic-check tool to install or update directives for your technology, or manually copy below markdown in your AGENTS.MD:
<!-- dotnet-agentic-engineering:dotnet-cli-run:start -->
## Running `dotnet ...`
`dotnet ...` commands require network access. Always run `dotnet` commands with escalated/network-enabled permissions from the start; do not first try them in the restricted sandbox. Include a concise approval reason such as: “Allow network access for dotnet commands, they need it to function.”
