Originally created by @xhuw on GitHub (Aug 8, 2025).

Originally assigned to: @thdxr on GitHub.

Hey, loving opencode.

A clean build + test in my repo takes more than 2 minutes, and I could easily see it growing to more than 10 minutes for some tasks. I am seeing timeouts in the bash tool command often. Even with hints, it is often forgetting to set the timeout parameter (as far as I can tell)

My preferred fix:

  • default timeout is no timeout (runs forever)
  • max timeout is very long (1 day? infinite?)

Happy to submit a PR if this would be welcome.

been using #1811 for a while now and its definitely better. Meanwhile I am working on a bash MCP to try and give the LLM full control over long running commands https://github.com/xhuw/async-bash-mcp

I think normally the concern tho is an agent will start a server or something itself and when it is looping itself it gets stuck, and a lot of people dont want that

Hi @rekram1-node
I find the source code, however, how to set the bash tool timeout by opencode.json?

Yes, I want to re-set the default bash tool for my building task that lasts up to one hour or more

hi @Kreijstal

I think you can refer to claude code which has BASH_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS & BASH_MAX_TIMEOUT_MS environment variables, they are can be set in the setting.json file.

@rekram1-node can you add per tool timeouts? Some HITL tools might take days to get an "approval"

Did OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_BASH_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS end up getting merged in to prod?

I can see the OPENCODE_EXPERIMENTAL_BASH_DEFAULT_TIMEOUT_MS is defined in the CLI docs as experimental.

My default for running tasks was 2 mins.

If you have trouble with a specific command you can also ask the agent to pass a custom timeout for the bash tool call.
