Frequently Asked Questions (FAQ)
Q1: Do I need to restart dsh web after updating session settings or disabling tools/skills?
A: No. The host plugin intercepts requests dynamically at runtime and manages tool/skill policies on demand. As soon as you save settings in the Web GUI, they take effect on the very next request.
Q2: How do I uninstall or remove the plugin?
A: Remove it anytime using the DSH CLI:
dsh plugin --profile web remove @local/dsh-session-settings
