What it does

Allow Automation Studio's "Ship it" step to run commands here.
THIS IS A DELIBERATE ACT AND IT IS NOT IMPLIED BY INSTALLING THE CLI. An Automation run's deploy step writes the exact commands; enabling this lets a run targeted at THIS device actually execute them, inside the directory you name and nowhere else. The commands come from the run's own deploy step — nothing is invented at execution time, so you can read exactly what will happen in the step above it before approving. Destructive commands (rm -rf, mkfs, shutdown, force pushes, DROP DATABASE, pipe-to-shell and friends) are refused outright.

Where this is defined

automation enable is declared in ai-platform/sage/core/autonomous_helpers.py. This page is generated from that source, so it cannot describe behaviour the CLI does not have.
