# Sandboxing
|
||||
|
||||
Moltbot can run **tools inside Docker containers** to reduce blast radius.
|
||||
This is **optional** and controlled by configuration (`agents.defaults.sandbox` or
|
||||
`agents.list[].sandbox`). If sandboxing is off, tools run on the host.
|
||||
The Gateway stays on the host; tool execution runs in an isolated sandbox
|
||||
when enabled.
|
||||
|
||||
This is not a perfect security boundary, but it materially limits filesystem
|
||||
and process access when the model does something dumb.
|
||||
|
||||
## What gets sandboxed
|
||||
- Tool execution (`exec`, `read`, `write`, `edit`, `apply_patch`, `process`, etc.).
|
||||
- Optional sandboxed browser (`agents.defaults.sandbox.browser`).
|
||||
- By default, the sandbox browser auto-starts (ensures CDP is reachable) when the browser tool needs it.
|
||||
Configure via `agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.autoStart` and `agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.autoStartTimeoutMs`.
|
||||
- `agents.defaults.sandbox.browser.allowHostControl` lets sandboxed sessions target the host browser explicitly.
|
||||
- Optional allowlists gate `target: "custom"`: `allowedControlUrls`, `allowedControlHosts`, `allowedControlPorts`.
|
||||
|
||||
Not sandboxed:
|
||||
- The Gateway process itself.
|
||||
- Any tool explicitly allowed to run on the host (e.g. `tools.elevated`).
|
||||
- **Elevated exec runs on the host and bypasses sandboxing.**
|
||||
- If sandboxing is off, `tools.elevated` does not change execution (already on host). See [Elevated Mode](/tools/elevated).
|
||||
|
||||
## Modes
|
||||
`agents.defaults.sandbox.mode` controls **when** sandboxing is used:
|
||||
- `"off"`: no sandboxing.
|
||||
- `"non-main"`: sandbox only **non-main** sessions (default if you want normal chats on host).
|
||||
- `"all"`: every session runs in a sandbox.
|
||||
Note: `"non-main"` is based on `session.mainKey` (default `"main"`), not agent id.
|
||||
Group/channel sessions use their own keys, so they count as non-main and will be sandboxed.
|
||||
|
||||
## Scope
|
||||
`agents.defaults.sandbox.scope` controls **how many containers** are created:
|
||||
- `"session"` (default): one container per session.
|
||||
- `"agent"`: one container per agent.
|
||||
- `"shared"`: one container shared by all sandboxed sessions.
|
||||
|
||||
## Workspace access
|
||||
`agents.defaults.sandbox.workspaceAccess` controls **what the sandbox can see**:
|
||||
- `"none"` (default): tools see a sandbox workspace under `~/.clawdbot/sandboxes`.
|
||||
- `"ro"`: mounts the agent workspace read-only at `/agent` (disables `write`/`edit`/`apply_patch`).
|
||||
- `"rw"`: mounts the agent workspace read/write at `/workspace`.
|
||||
|
||||
Inbound media is copied into the active sandbox workspace (`media/inbound/*`).
|
||||
Skills note: the `read` tool is sandbox-rooted. With `workspaceAccess: "none"`,
|
||||
Moltbot mirrors eligible skills into the sandbox workspace (`.../skills`) so
|
||||
they can be read. With `"rw"`, workspace skills are readable from
|
||||
`/workspace/skills`.
|
||||
|
||||
## Custom bind mounts
|
||||
`agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.binds` mounts additional host directories into the container.
|
||||
Format: `host:container:mode` (e.g., `"/home/user/source:/source:rw"`).
|
||||
|
||||
Global and per-agent binds are **merged** (not replaced). Under `scope: "shared"`, per-agent binds are ignored.
|
||||
|
||||
Example (read-only source + docker socket):
|
||||
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
docker: {
|
||||
binds: [
|
||||
"/home/user/source:/source:ro",
|
||||
"/var/run/docker.sock:/var/run/docker.sock"
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
},
|
||||
list: [
|
||||
{
|
||||
id: "build",
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
docker: {
|
||||
binds: ["/mnt/cache:/cache:rw"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Security notes:
|
||||
- Binds bypass the sandbox filesystem: they expose host paths with whatever mode you set (`:ro` or `:rw`).
|
||||
- Sensitive mounts (e.g., `docker.sock`, secrets, SSH keys) should be `:ro` unless absolutely required.
|
||||
- Combine with `workspaceAccess: "ro"` if you only need read access to the workspace; bind modes stay independent.
|
||||
- See [Sandbox vs Tool Policy vs Elevated](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated) for how binds interact with tool policy and elevated exec.
|
||||
|
||||
## Images + setup
|
||||
Default image: `moltbot-sandbox:bookworm-slim`
|
||||
|
||||
Build it once:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
scripts/sandbox-setup.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
Note: the default image does **not** include Node. If a skill needs Node (or
|
||||
other runtimes), either bake a custom image or install via
|
||||
`sandbox.docker.setupCommand` (requires network egress + writable root +
|
||||
root user).
|
||||
|
||||
Sandboxed browser image:
|
||||
```bash
|
||||
scripts/sandbox-browser-setup.sh
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
By default, sandbox containers run with **no network**.
|
||||
Override with `agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.network`.
|
||||
|
||||
Docker installs and the containerized gateway live here:
|
||||
[Docker](/install/docker)
|
||||
|
||||
## setupCommand (one-time container setup)
|
||||
`setupCommand` runs **once** after the sandbox container is created (not on every run).
|
||||
It executes inside the container via `sh -lc`.
|
||||
|
||||
Paths:
|
||||
- Global: `agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.setupCommand`
|
||||
- Per-agent: `agents.list[].sandbox.docker.setupCommand`
|
||||
|
||||
|
||||
Common pitfalls:
|
||||
- Default `docker.network` is `"none"` (no egress), so package installs will fail.
|
||||
- `readOnlyRoot: true` prevents writes; set `readOnlyRoot: false` or bake a custom image.
|
||||
- `user` must be root for package installs (omit `user` or set `user: "0:0"`).
|
||||
- Sandbox exec does **not** inherit host `process.env`. Use
|
||||
`agents.defaults.sandbox.docker.env` (or a custom image) for skill API keys.
|
||||
|
||||
## Tool policy + escape hatches
|
||||
Tool allow/deny policies still apply before sandbox rules. If a tool is denied
|
||||
globally or per-agent, sandboxing doesn’t bring it back.
|
||||
|
||||
`tools.elevated` is an explicit escape hatch that runs `exec` on the host.
|
||||
`/exec` directives only apply for authorized senders and persist per session; to hard-disable
|
||||
`exec`, use tool policy deny (see [Sandbox vs Tool Policy vs Elevated](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated)).
|
||||
|
||||
Debugging:
|
||||
- Use `moltbot sandbox explain` to inspect effective sandbox mode, tool policy, and fix-it config keys.
|
||||
- See [Sandbox vs Tool Policy vs Elevated](/gateway/sandbox-vs-tool-policy-vs-elevated) for the “why is this blocked?” mental model.
|
||||
Keep it locked down.
|
||||
|
||||
## Multi-agent overrides
|
||||
Each agent can override sandbox + tools:
|
||||
`agents.list[].sandbox` and `agents.list[].tools` (plus `agents.list[].tools.sandbox.tools` for sandbox tool policy).
|
||||
See [Multi-Agent Sandbox & Tools](/multi-agent-sandbox-tools) for precedence.
|
||||
|
||||
## Minimal enable example
|
||||
```json5
|
||||
{
|
||||
agents: {
|
||||
defaults: {
|
||||
sandbox: {
|
||||
mode: "non-main",
|
||||
scope: "session",
|
||||
workspaceAccess: "none"
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
