Those are extremeley limited and I don't think it's possible to run any kind of interesting scripts locally.

I did look at it when I still had an iPhone and it's one of those "almost usable but fundamentally broken" things that are par for iOS. It works well enough that I could spend a weekend or two making stuff that almost works with it.

Jailbroken devices have this ability. At one point I had rclone daemon syncing iCloud files to Seafile through the terminal. You can also run scripts through Shortcuts by local ssh

it has the ability to run pythonista scripts amog others... but yea, it's not a fully exposed unix where most things are files.

Most things are, in fact, files. It's just a massive pain to do anything with them.
