Fixes #7327

Summary

Add SpritesExecTool to crewai-tools so agents can run shell commands in an existing, persistent Fly.io Sprite.

  • Configure the Sprite name and token on the tool; expose only command and optional cwd to the agent.
  • Use the official sprites-py SDK through the optional crewai-tools[sprites] extra. Import the SDK lazily so other tools do not require it.
  • Return stdout, stderr, and the exit code, including nonzero exits. Bound returned output with explicit truncation flags and disable result caching by default.
  • Support sync and async execution; keep blocking SDK calls off the async event loop.
  • Exclude the token from serialized tool configuration and avoid exposing SDK request details in errors. Do not inject the host token into remote commands.
  • Leave Sprite creation and deletion to the caller. Files persist between calls, but each command starts a new shell.
  • Add tests, public exports, and an English usage guide with Arabic, Korean, and Brazilian Portuguese translations and navigation entries.

Verification

  • Tests added or updated for the changed behavior
  • Relevant tests and quality checks pass locally

Automated checks

  • 39 new Sprites tool tests passed.
  • 210 tests passed across the selected regression suite: Sprites, package imports, tool collection, file writer, wait tool, and CrewAI's base/structured/async tool tests. This is not a claim that the full monorepo suite was run.
  • Ruff passed for crewai-tools source; changed Python files passed formatting checks.
  • Focused mypy check passed for the new tool package (--follow-imports=silent).
  • Bandit passed for the new tool package.
  • The lockfile validated with uv 0.11.3, matching upstream CI. Source distribution and wheel builds passed; the wheel includes the tool and the optional SDK dependency metadata.
  • All four documentation navigation entries and the matching Python examples were checked.

Local Python validation used 3.13.12. CrewAI's local credential store was redirected to a temporary directory for the tests, and telemetry/tracing was disabled.

Live smoke test

15 checks passed against a disposable, token-protected Fly.io Sprite using CrewAI 1.15.20 and sprites-py 0.6.0. These covered remote Python execution, stdout/stderr and nonzero exits, working directories, file persistence across tool instances, repeated commands, output truncation, structured-tool invocation, concurrent async calls, timeout handling, and subsequent Sprite usability.

The full CrewAI Crew/Agent/tool loop also executed a real command and verified its remote output file. The model was deterministic and local: this tests CrewAI dispatch and the Sprites integration, not a particular LLM provider's tool-selection behavior. No paid LLM calls were used. Both disposable Sprites used during validation were deleted and confirmed absent afterward; existing Sprites were not modified.

Additional context

Safety limits are documented: shell commands can modify/delete data and access resources inside the Sprite; a client timeout or async cancellation does not guarantee remote process termination; output truncation happens after SDK capture and therefore limits agent context, not memory consumption. The tool does not automatically retry commands whose outcome is uncertain.

In `@lib/crewai-tools/src/crewai_tools/tools/sprites_tool/sprites_exec_tool.py`:
- Line 111: Update SpritesExecTool._run to avoid capture_output=True buffering
the entire command result; use a streaming SDK path or enforce the output limit
server-side so collection stops at max_output_chars. Preserve truncation
behavior and add a regression test proving output exceeding the configured cap
stops at that cap.
- Line 143: Update _arun so cancellation does not leave an unbounded _run
operation occupying the executor: use the SDK session handle and invoke
kill_session when cancellation occurs, while preserving normal command execution
and result handling. If session cancellation cannot be integrated, enforce
bounded concurrency and document the remote command behavior.

Intercept output before sprites-py accumulates it and retain UTF-8 character prefixes. Await SDK WebSocket I/O directly, including CrewAI structured-tool dispatch, so cancellation does not occupy shared executor workers.

Add receive-loop, UTF-8, cancellation, timeout, and cleanup regressions; document definitions and synchronize safety notes across all four locales. Validation: 257 relevant tests, Ruff, focused mypy, Bandit, and sdist/wheel builds pass. Two unchanged legacy description assertions also fail with the original implementation.
