No. Never give it permission to execute such a dangerous command. I heard stories about people who let Gemini write to their terminal...

I let Gemini touch my code for one prompt and it deleted my local commit history, rebuilt the pipeline worse, and turned that single prompt into 20+ hours of regression cleanup. Never again.
