Claude Task Executor Integration - GuruRMM Agent

Integration Status: [SUCCESS]

Successfully integrated Claude Code task execution capabilities into the GuruRMM Agent.

Date: 2026-01-21

Files Modified

1. New Files Added

• src/claude.rs - Complete Claude task executor module
  • Working directory validation (restricted to C:\Shares\test)
  • Task input sanitization (command injection prevention)
  • Rate limiting (max 10 tasks per hour)
  • Concurrent execution limiting (max 2 simultaneous tasks)
  • Comprehensive error handling and logging

2. Modified Files

Cargo.toml

• Added once_cell = "1.19" dependency for global static initialization
• All other required dependencies already present (tokio, serde, serde_json)

src/main.rs

• Added mod claude; declaration at line 6 (before config module)

src/transport/mod.rs

• Added ClaudeTask variant to CommandType enum:

  ClaudeTask {
      task: String,
      working_directory: Option<String>,
      context_files: Option<Vec<String>>,
  }
  

src/transport/websocket.rs

• Added use once_cell::sync::Lazy; import
• Added use crate::claude::{ClaudeExecutor, ClaudeTaskCommand}; import
• Added global Claude executor: static CLAUDE_EXECUTOR: Lazy<ClaudeExecutor>
• Modified run_command() function to handle ClaudeTask command type
• Maps Claude task results to command result format (exit codes, stdout, stderr)

Build Results

Compilation Status: [SUCCESS]

Finished `release` profile [optimized] target(s) in 1m 38s

Binary Size: 3.5 MB (optimized release build) Location: target/release/gururmm-agent.exe

Warnings: Minor (unrelated to Claude integration)

• Unused imports in updater/mod.rs and main.rs (pre-existing)
• Unused methods in updater module (pre-existing)

Security Features

Working Directory Restriction

• All Claude tasks restricted to C:\Shares\test and subdirectories
• Canonical path resolution prevents directory traversal attacks
• Validates directory exists before execution

Task Input Sanitization

• Prevents command injection via forbidden characters: & | ; $ ( ) < > \n \r`
• Maximum task length: 10,000 characters (DoS prevention)
• Empty task detection

Rate Limiting

• Maximum 10 tasks per hour per agent
• Rate limit window: 3600 seconds (rolling window)
• Execution timestamps tracked in memory

Concurrent Execution Control

• Maximum 2 simultaneous Claude tasks
• Active task counter with mutex protection
• Prevents resource exhaustion

Context File Validation

• Verifies files exist before execution
• Ensures files are within working directory
• Validates file paths contain valid UTF-8

Command Protocol

Server → Agent Message Format

{
  "type": "command",
  "payload": {
    "id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
    "command_type": {
      "claude_task": {
        "task": "Check the sync log for errors in last 24 hours",
        "working_directory": "C:\\Shares\\test\\logs",
        "context_files": ["sync.log", "error.log"]
      }
    },
    "command": "unused for claude_task",
    "timeout_seconds": 300,
    "elevated": false
  }
}

Agent → Server Result Format

{
  "type": "command_result",
  "payload": {
    "command_id": "550e8400-e29b-41d4-a716-446655440000",
    "exit_code": 0,
    "stdout": "Claude Code output here...",
    "stderr": "",
    "duration_ms": 45230
  }
}

Exit Codes

• 0 - Task completed successfully
• 1 - Task failed (execution error)
• 124 - Task timed out
• -1 - Executor error (rate limit, validation failure)

Usage Example

From GuruRMM Server

# Send Claude task command via WebSocket
command = {
    "type": "command",
    "payload": {
        "id": str(uuid.uuid4()),
        "command_type": {
            "claude_task": {
                "task": "Analyze the sync logs and report any errors from the last 24 hours",
                "working_directory": "C:\\Shares\\test",
                "context_files": ["sync.log"]
            }
        },
        "command": "",  # Unused for claude_task
        "timeout_seconds": 600,  # 10 minute timeout
        "elevated": False
    }
}
await websocket.send_json(command)

Expected Behavior

1. Agent receives command via WebSocket
2. Validates working directory and context files
3. Checks rate limit (10 tasks/hour)
4. Checks concurrent limit (2 simultaneous)
5. Spawns Claude Code CLI process
6. Captures stdout/stderr asynchronously
7. Returns result to server with exit code and output

Testing Recommendations

1. Basic Task Execution

{
  "claude_task": {
    "task": "List files in current directory"
  }
}

2. Working Directory Validation

{
  "claude_task": {
    "task": "Check directory contents",
    "working_directory": "C:\\Shares\\test\\subdir"
  }
}

3. Context File Usage

{
  "claude_task": {
    "task": "Analyze this log file for errors",
    "context_files": ["test.log"]
  }
}

4. Rate Limiting Test

• Send 11 tasks within 1 hour
• 11th task should fail with rate limit error

5. Concurrent Execution Test

• Send 3 tasks simultaneously
• First 2 should execute, 3rd should fail with concurrent limit error

6. Security Tests

• Attempt directory traversal: ../../../Windows
• Attempt command injection: task; del *.*
• Attempt path traversal in context files

Integration Checklist

• claude.rs module copied and compiles
• Dependencies added to Cargo.toml
• Module declared in main.rs
• CommandType enum extended with ClaudeTask
• Command handler integrated in websocket.rs
• Project builds without errors
• All existing functionality preserved
• No breaking changes to existing commands
• Security features implemented and tested (unit tests in claude.rs)

Performance Considerations

Memory Usage

• Each active Claude task spawns separate process
• Stdout/stderr buffered in memory during execution
• Rate limiter maintains timestamp vector (max 10 entries)
• Minimal overhead from global static executor

CPU Usage

• Claude Code CLI handles actual task processing
• Agent only manages process lifecycle and I/O
• Async I/O prevents blocking on output capture

Network Impact

• Results sent back via existing WebSocket connection
• No additional network overhead

Known Limitations

1. Windows-Only Claude Code CLI

   • Claude Code CLI currently requires Windows
   • Unix support depends on Claude Code CLI availability

2. Fixed Working Directory Base

   • Hardcoded to C:\Shares\test
   • Could be made configurable in future updates

3. No Progress Reporting

   • Long-running tasks don't report progress
   • Only final result sent to server

4. Single Rate Limit Pool

   • Rate limit applies per agent, not per user
   • Could be enhanced with user-specific limits

Future Enhancements

1. Configurable Security Settings

   • Allow admin to configure working directory base
   • Adjustable rate limits and concurrent task limits

2. Progress Streaming

   • Stream Claude Code output in real-time
   • Send periodic progress updates to server

3. Task History

   • Log completed tasks to database
   • Provide task execution history API

4. User-Specific Limits

   • Rate limiting per user, not per agent
   • Different limits for different user roles

5. Output Size Limits

   • Prevent excessive memory usage from large outputs
   • Truncate or stream large results
