Python: Shell tool with support for local and Docker (#5664)

* feat(tools): add cross-OS LocalShellTool in new agent-framework-tools package

Introduces a safe, cross-OS local shell tool as the first citizen of a new

agent-framework-tools workspace package. Supports persistent (default) and

stateless modes across pwsh/powershell.exe/bash/sh, with policy denylist,

allowlist, approval gating, process-tree kill on timeout, output truncation,

and audit hooks. Integrates with existing provider get_shell_tool(func=...)

factories via FunctionTool kind='shell'.

See docs/decisions/0026-builtin-tools-local-shell.md for the full design.

* feat(tools): security hardening for LocalShellTool

Codifies what LocalShellTool does and does not defend against, and

delegates the security-relevant lifecycle primitive to a battle-tested

library instead of hand-rolled per-OS code.

Changes:

- Adopt psutil for cross-OS process-tree termination (executor + session).

  Replaces hand-rolled taskkill/killpg with one canonical implementation.

- Resolve taskkill.exe to absolute %SystemRoot%\System32 path so PATH

  poisoning cannot redirect us to an attacker-supplied binary.

- Reframe ShellPolicy docstring + ADR + README: denylist is a guardrail,

  not a security boundary.

- Require acknowledge_unsafe=True to set approval_mode='never_require',

  making the unsafe path explicitly opt-in with a self-documenting name.

- Add tests/test_security.py codifying named CVE-style cases. Defenses

  we DO claim are asserted; non-defenses (denylist bypasses via

  backslash insertion, variable expansion, interpreter escape, base64,

  alternative tools, PowerShell-native verbs) are documented as

  expected-to-pass tests so residual risk stays visible.

- Add Threat Model + Confidence Strategy sections to ADR 0026.

* feat(tools): add DockerShellTool sandboxed shell tier

Adds a container-backed shell executor as the recommended pattern for untrusted-input shell workflows. The container provides the security boundary (--network none, non-root user, --read-only, --cap-drop ALL, no-new-privileges, memory/pids limits, tmpfs /tmp), so approval gating is optional unlike LocalShellTool.

Also introduces a ShellExecutor Protocol so callers can plug in custom backends (Firecracker, SSH, WASI) without forking the framework.

Removes the planned HyperlightShellExecutor follow-up from ADR 0026: Hyperlight is a WASM code sandbox with no kernel/userland/shell binary, so a Hyperlight-backed shell is not viable. Docker is the realistic sandbox tier for shell.

Tests: 11 unit tests for argv builders + lifecycle (no Docker daemon required); 3 integration tests gated on is_docker_available().

* fix(tools): backport shell-tool fixes from .NET parity review

Applies the applicable subset of bug fixes accumulated during the
.NET shell-tool PR review (microsoft/agent-framework#5604) to the
Python shell tool.

A1 - Quote workdir safely in _maybe_reanchor

  Previously _tool.py used double-quote interpolation when emitting
  the cd/Set-Location prefix, which expanded $VAR, $(), and backticks
  in the workdir path. A workdir containing shell metacharacters could
  trigger arbitrary command execution before the user command ran.

  Replaced with single-quote escaping helpers _quote_posix and
  _quote_powershell that emit literal-string forms safe for both
  hosts.

A5/A6 - Consolidate truncation to a single byte-aware helper

  Extracted a shared truncate_head_tail / truncate_text_head_tail
  helper in _truncate.py. The new implementation distributes odd
  caps so head receives floor(cap/2) and tail receives ceil(cap/2)
  bytes, matching the .NET round-9 fix and ensuring no input bytes
  are silently dropped on the boundary.

  _session.py previously truncated by Python str length while the
  caller passed _max_output_bytes - the unit mismatch is now gone:
  raw byte buffers go through truncate_head_tail and decoded text
  goes through truncate_text_head_tail.

Unit tests added for the truncate and quote helpers.

* docs(tools): tone down narrative and overconfident comments in shell tool

The shell tool's docstrings and comments contained two patterns that
the .NET review pushed back on:

- Narrative framing about implementation history ("hard-won",
  "we sidestep", "design inspiration: ...", competitor framework
  name-drops in module docstrings).
- Overstated security guarantees ("battle-tested",
  "reasonable for untrusted input", "recommended executor for any
  agent that runs commands from untrusted input",
  "destructive commands are blocked", "safe local shell tool",
  "blocks shell injection").

Rewrites the affected docstrings and comments to describe what the
code does in neutral terms. Behaviour is unchanged.

* feat(tools): add ShellEnvironmentProvider for the Python shell tool

Ports the .NET ShellEnvironmentProvider as a Python ContextProvider
so agents using LocalShellTool or DockerShellTool can be primed with
an accurate description of the shell they're talking to (family,
version, OS, working directory, and which CLIs are available).

The provider runs probes through any ShellExecutor, caches the
resulting snapshot, and on every before_run extends the session
instructions with a markdown block describing the shell idiom to
use. A failed first probe leaves the cache empty so the next call
retries (no permanent poisoning).

Probe failures from a narrow set of expected error types
(ShellCommandError, ShellExecutionError, ShellTimeoutError, and
asyncio.TimeoutError from the per-probe timeout) are recorded as
None fields in the snapshot. Other exceptions propagate. Tool
names are validated against ^[A-Za-z0-9._-]+$ before being
interpolated into a probe command.

Includes 12 unit tests covering happy path, stderr fallback,
timeout handling, expected/unexpected exception paths, malicious
tool name rejection, case-insensitive deduplication, retry after
failure, concurrent first-callers sharing one probe, and the
default and custom formatter paths.

* docs(tools): document ShellEnvironmentProvider and finish comment cleanup

Add a README section introducing ShellEnvironmentProvider, soften two remaining overconfident security-boundary comments in _executor_base.py and the DockerShellTool class docstring, and add a sample (shell_with_environment_provider.py) that demonstrates the provider in stateless and persistent modes.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* refactor(tools): move shell samples to python/samples/02-agents/tools

The repository convention is to host samples under python/samples/ rather than inside the package directory. Move the two net-new shell samples (allow-list and environment-provider) to python/samples/02-agents/tools/ and drop the in-package samples/ directory; the existing top-level providers/openai/client_with_local_shell.py already covers the basic LocalShellTool walkthrough.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* test(tools): cover confine_workdir default and ShellResult.format_for_model

Two new tests in test_local_shell_tool.py exercise the default confine_workdir=True behaviour on POSIX and PowerShell, asserting that 'cd' inside one persistent-mode call does not leak into the next. A new test_shell_result.py module provides direct unit coverage for every conditional branch of ShellResult.format_for_model (stdout, truncated, stderr, timed_out, exit_code) so regressions in the LLM-facing format are caught immediately.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(tools): address PR #5664 review feedback

- _tool.py: detect PowerShell via is_powershell() helper instead of basename string match

- _environment.py: use public ContextProvider import (no private _ prefix)

- _session.py: trim _stdout_buf/_stderr_buf after copying to avoid unbounded retention across calls

- _docker.py: short-circuit start()/close() in stateless mode; add configurable shell kwarg (default bash, e.g. 'sh' for alpine)

- tests: parenthesized multi-line assert; alpine integration tests now pass shell='sh'

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* fix(tools): satisfy CI quality gates

- pyupgrade: drop quoted self-class refs in __aenter__/method annotations

- ruff format: reflow long lines per workspace style

- pyright: assert psutil non-None in optional-import branch; lowercase mutable module globals; annotate _approval_mode as Literal so tool() Literal-typed kwarg is accepted; add ... body to ShellExecutor.run protocol; remove unused deprecated _kill_tree wrapper

- tests: skip docker integration tests on win32 (Windows containers don't support --read-only / alpine images)

* Remove DEFAULT_DENYLIST; document single-session ownership; fix bandit findings

Mirrors the .NET PR #5604 cleanup:

- Remove DEFAULT_DENYLIST from ShellPolicy. ShellPolicy() now ships with an empty deny-list; operators opt into site-specific patterns explicitly. No major agent framework uses regex matching as a primary security control; AutoGen v2 removed theirs. Approval gating + sandbox tier remain the real boundaries.

- Rewrite module / class docstrings to frame ShellPolicy as a UX pre-filter, not a security control.

- Add Single-session ownership paragraphs to ShellExecutor, ShellSession, LocalShellTool, and DockerShellTool: a persistent-mode tool is owned by exactly one conversation / agent session; do not share across users or concurrent conversations.

- Tests now supply explicit deny patterns instead of relying on a default.

- Address Pre-commit Hooks (bandit) CI failures: convert internal-invariant asserts to explicit RuntimeError, annotate intentional subprocess/shell usage with # nosec, document container-internal /tmp paths.

* Address PR #5664 round-2 review feedback

Deny-list documentation drift:

- README and the OpenAI/local-shell sample no longer claim a built-in deny-list of destructive commands. ShellPolicy is described as an optional, operator-supplied UX pre-filter; the real boundaries remain approval gating and the sandbox tier.

Behavioural fixes called out in review:

- ShellPolicy.evaluate() now denies empty / whitespace-only commands explicitly instead of returning allow with no rationale.

- truncate_head_tail() raises ValueError for cap <= 0 instead of silently returning the full input with truncated=False, which previously could defeat output-capping in callers that mis-configured the budget.

- LocalShellTool.as_function() / DockerShellTool.as_function() return the ShellCommandError text directly so the model sees a single, non-redundant 'Command rejected by policy: …' message instead of the prior duplicated 'Command blocked by policy: Command rejected …' wrapping.

- ShellSession POSIX sentinel trailer now snapshots and restores the prior errexit (set -e) state around the trailer, so a user 'set -e' in the persistent shell is no longer permanently disabled by the next run().

Tests:

- New test_shell_parse_rc.py covers the full _parse_rc() edge-case surface (zero, positive, negative, CRLF, no newline, missing prefix, empty input, non-digits, trailing garbage, partial digits).

- test_policy.py asserts the new empty-command deny.

- test_shell_truncate_and_quote.py asserts ValueError for cap=0 and cap<0.

* Address PR review feedback for shell tool

- _resolve.py: reject empty/whitespace shell override string
- _tool.py / _docker.py: mode-aware default tool description (persistent vs stateless)
- _tool.py: fix misleading workdir docstring (re-anchor, not blocking)
- _types.py: emit stream-agnostic [output truncated] marker
- _policy.py: declare _denies/_allows as dataclass fields
- _environment.py: use $(pwd) instead of $PWD in POSIX probe

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Address PR review feedback: shell override flag + probe timeout safety

- _resolve.py: in stateless mode, ensure shell overrides end with -c/-Command so commands aren't misinterpreted as script-file paths.
- ShellExecutor.run / LocalShellTool.run / DockerShellTool.run now accept an optional 	imeout kwarg; ShellEnvironmentProvider drops the outer asyncio.wait_for and lets the executor enforce the probe timeout internally, so cancellation no longer risks leaving a hung subprocess or corrupted session.

Co-authored-by: Copilot <223556219+Copilot@users.noreply.github.com>

* Address review feedback: docker isolation + lifecycle robustness

- pyproject.toml: bump agent-framework-core minimum from 1.2.0 to 1.2.2 to align with the rest of the workspace.
- _docker.py: validate extra_run_args at construction time and reject flags that would dismantle the isolation defaults (--privileged, --cap-add, --security-opt, --network/--net, -v/--volume/--mount, --device, --pid, --ipc, --userns, --user, --read-only, --tmpfs, --add-host, --gpus, --cgroupns, --device-cgroup-rule); also documented the warning on the docstring.
- _docker._stop_container: retry docker rm -f once and log a warning/error when it does not succeed, so operators can audit leaked containers instead of getting a silent success.
- _docker._run_stateless timeout path: fall back to docker rm -f when docker kill fails or times out (--rm only reaps on clean exit), and log instead of silently swallowing communicate() errors.

# agent-framework-tools
Alpha built-in tools for the Microsoft Agent Framework. A home for first-party
Python tools that plug into any chat client's shell / function surface. The
first tool is `LocalShellTool`.
## Installation
```bash
pip install agent-framework-tools --pre
```
## `LocalShellTool` quick start
```python
import asyncio
from agent_framework import Agent
from agent_framework.openai import OpenAIChatClient
from agent_framework_tools.shell import LocalShellTool
async def main() -> None:
client = OpenAIChatClient(model="gpt-5.4-nano")
async with LocalShellTool() as shell:
agent = Agent(
client=client,
instructions="You are a helpful assistant that can run shell commands.",
tools=[client.get_shell_tool(func=shell.as_function())],
)
result = await agent.run("Print the current working directory.")
print(result.text)
asyncio.run(main())
```
### Modes
- **Persistent** (default): a single long-lived shell session. `cd`, `export`,
and shell functions persist across tool invocations.
- **Stateless** (`mode="stateless"`): each command runs in a fresh subprocess.
### Safety
> **`LocalShellTool` is not a sandbox.** It runs commands directly on the
> host with the agent process's privileges. The actual security boundary
> is **approval-in-the-loop**. For untrusted input use a sandboxed
> executor — see [`agent-framework-hyperlight`](#relationship-to-agent-framework-hyperlight).
Defenses (in priority order):
- **Approval-in-the-loop** — every command surfaces as a
`user_input_request`; nothing runs without consent. Disabling this
requires `acknowledge_unsafe=True`.
- **Process-tree termination on timeout** via `psutil`, so child
processes (`make`, watchers, network tools) cannot survive the timeout.
- **Output truncation** to 64 KiB (head + tail with marker).
- **Audit hook** (`on_command=…`) for SIEM / append-only logs.
- **Optional command-pattern filter** via `ShellPolicy(denylist=[...],
allowlist=[...])`. **Empty by default.** This is a UX pre-filter, not a
security boundary — operators are expected to supply patterns that
match their workload (and they can be defeated by trivial obfuscation
such as `\rm -rf /`, `${RM:=rm} -rf /`, `python -c "…"`, encoded
payloads, or PowerShell-native equivalents). Real isolation comes from
approval gating and the sandbox tier (`DockerShellTool`). See
`tests/test_security.py` for the documented residual risk surface.
Override with `ShellPolicy`:
```python
from agent_framework_tools.shell import LocalShellTool, ShellPolicy
shell = LocalShellTool(
policy=ShellPolicy(allowlist=[r"^ls\b", r"^cat\b", r"^git status$"]),
approval_mode="never_require",
acknowledge_unsafe=True, # required to bypass approval
)
```
### Cross-OS
- **Windows**: `pwsh -NoProfile -Command -` (falls back to `powershell.exe`).
- **Linux / macOS**: `/bin/bash --noprofile --norc` (falls back to `/bin/sh`).
- Override via the `shell=` constructor argument or the
`AGENT_FRAMEWORK_SHELL` environment variable.
## `ShellEnvironmentProvider` — context provider
A model talking to a PowerShell session will sometimes default to bash
syntax (`export FOO=bar`, `ls -la`, `> /dev/null`) and vice versa.
`ShellEnvironmentProvider` is an `AIContextProvider` that probes the live
shell once per session — family, version, OS, working directory, and a
configurable list of CLI tools (`git`, `node`, `python`, `docker` by
default) — and injects a system-prompt block describing the shell idiom
to use and the available CLIs.
```python
from agent_framework_tools.shell import (
LocalShellTool,
ShellEnvironmentProvider,
ShellEnvironmentProviderOptions,
)
shell = LocalShellTool()
provider = ShellEnvironmentProvider(
shell,
ShellEnvironmentProviderOptions(probe_tools=("git", "uv", "node")),
)
agent = Agent(
client=client,
tools=[client.get_shell_tool(func=shell.as_function())],
context_providers=[provider],
)
```
Probe failures from expected error types (timeouts, policy rejections,
spawn failures) are recorded as `None` fields in the snapshot rather
than raised; a missing CLI never fails the agent. A failed first probe
does not poison the cache — the next call retries.
## `DockerShellTool` — sandboxed tier
When commands originate from untrusted input (e.g. the model is acting on
prompt-injected document content), prefer `DockerShellTool`. With the
default isolation flags and a trusted container runtime, the container
is the intended security boundary and approval gating becomes optional.
```python
import asyncio
from agent_framework_tools.shell import DockerShellTool
async def main() -> None:
async with DockerShellTool(
image="mcr.microsoft.com/azurelinux/base/core:3.0",
approval_mode="never_require", # container is the boundary
) as shell:
result = await shell.run("uname -a && id")
print(result.stdout)
asyncio.run(main())
```
Defaults applied to every container:
- `--network none` — no host or external network.
- `--user 65534:65534` — runs as `nobody:nogroup`.
- `--read-only` root filesystem; only mounted host paths are writable.
- `--cap-drop ALL` and `--security-opt no-new-privileges`.
- `--memory 512m`, `--pids-limit 256`, ephemeral `tmpfs /tmp`.
To expose a host directory, pass `host_workdir="/path"` (mounted
read-only by default; `mount_readonly=False` to allow writes). Swap the
container runtime with `docker_binary="podman"`.
## Sandbox tiers at a glance
| Use case | Tool | Sandbox |
|---|---|---|
| Run *code* (untrusted) | `HyperlightCodeActProvider.execute_code` (`agent-framework-hyperlight`) | Hyperlight WASM microVM |
| Run *shell* (untrusted) | `DockerShellTool` | OCI container (network-off, non-root, capabilities dropped) |
| Run *shell* (trusted dev) | `LocalShellTool` | Approval-in-the-loop |
## Relationship to `agent-framework-hyperlight`
`agent-framework-hyperlight` is a **code** sandbox (a single WASM guest
loaded into a microVM, called via a hostcall ABI — there is no kernel,
userland, or shell binary inside). It is the right tier for executing
generated *code*. For sandboxing *shell* commands, the realistic tier is
OCI, which `DockerShellTool` provides.

"""Sandboxed shell tool backed by a Docker (or compatible) container runtime.
``DockerShellTool`` exposes the same public surface as
:class:`LocalShellTool` but executes commands inside a container. The
container is intended to be the security boundary; effective isolation
depends on the host runtime configuration, image contents, and the flags
passed at launch.
Default flags applied at launch:
- ``--network none``: no host or external network access.
- ``--user 65534:65534``: runs as ``nobody:nogroup``.
- ``--read-only`` root filesystem; only the optional ``host_workdir``
mount is writable when ``mount_readonly=False``.
- ``--memory``, ``--pids-limit`` set to bounded values.
- ``--cap-drop=ALL`` and ``--security-opt=no-new-privileges``.
- ``--tmpfs /tmp`` so commands that need scratch space have somewhere to
write that doesn't escape the container.
Persistent mode reuses :class:`ShellSession` by launching
``docker exec -i <container> bash`` as the long-lived shell — the
sentinel protocol works unchanged because the session is still talking
to a bash REPL over pipes.
**Single-session ownership.** In persistent mode a
:class:`DockerShellTool` owns a long-lived container plus the bash REPL
inside it. The container's filesystem, environment, working directory,
and any artifacts the agent has produced are visible to every subsequent
command, and a single stdin/stdout pipe serializes every call. A
persistent-mode tool is therefore intended to be owned by exactly one
conversation / agent session — i.e. one user. Do not share one instance
across users, tenants, or concurrent conversations: their state leaks
together inside the container and commands queue behind each other.
Create one tool per session and close it (or use ``async with``) when
the session ends; closing stops and removes the container. If a shared
instance is genuinely required, use ``mode="stateless"`` so each call
gets its own throwaway ``docker run --rm``.

class DockerShellTool:
"""Shell tool that runs commands inside a Docker (or compatible) container.
**Single-session ownership.** In persistent mode this tool owns a
long-lived container plus the bash REPL inside it; it is intended to
be owned by a single conversation / agent session — i.e. one user.
Do not share one instance across users, tenants, or concurrent
conversations: state leaks together inside the container and commands
queue behind each other. Create one tool per session and close it
(or use ``async with``) when the session ends. If a shared instance
is genuinely required, use ``mode="stateless"``. See the module
docstring for more.
Args:
image: OCI image to run. Defaults to a small Microsoft-maintained
base image. Override with anything that includes ``bash`` and
(for persistent mode) ``sleep``.
container_name: Optional explicit name. When ``None`` a unique
name is generated per instance.
mode: ``"persistent"`` (default) keeps a single long-lived
container with `cd`/`export` carrying across calls.
``"stateless"`` runs each command in a fresh ``docker run --rm``.
host_workdir: Optional host directory to mount into the container
at ``workdir``. Mounted read-only by default; pass
``mount_readonly=False`` to allow writes.
workdir: Path inside the container. Default ``/workspace``.
mount_readonly: When ``True`` (default), mount ``host_workdir`` ro.
network: Docker network mode. Default ``"none"`` for no network.
memory: Container memory limit (e.g. ``"512m"``, ``"2g"``).
pids_limit: Max processes inside the container.
user: ``UID:GID`` to run as. Default ``65534:65534`` (nobody).
read_only_root: Mount the root filesystem read-only. Default ``True``.
extra_run_args: Additional args appended to ``docker run``.
.. warning::
This parameter can dismantle the tool's isolation
contract. Flags that would undo the default sandbox
(``--privileged``, ``--cap-add``, ``--security-opt``,
``--network``/``--net``, ``-v``/``--volume``,
``--mount``, ``--device``, ``--pid``, ``--ipc``,
``--userns``, ``--user``, ``--read-only``,
``--tmpfs``, ``--add-host``, ``--gpus``, ``--cgroupns``,
``--device-cgroup-rule``) are rejected at construction
time. Override the corresponding dedicated argument
(``network``, ``host_workdir``, ``mount_readonly``,
``read_only_root``, ``user``, etc.) instead. If you
genuinely need to relax the sandbox further, subclass
the tool — don't slip past this check.
env: Environment variables to set inside the container. These are
passed via ``-e`` and apply to every command.
policy: Optional :class:`ShellPolicy`. Less critical than for
``LocalShellTool`` since the container is the intended
isolation layer, but useful as a UX pre-filter (and for audit
logging). Defaults to an empty policy; supply patterns
explicitly to enable filtering.
timeout: Per-command timeout in seconds.
max_output_bytes: Combined stdout/stderr byte cap before truncation.
approval_mode: Controls the FunctionTool approval gate. Unlike
``LocalShellTool``, ``"never_require"`` is permitted without
``acknowledge_unsafe`` because the container — when launched
with the default isolation flags and a trusted runtime — is
the intended boundary rather than approval.
on_command: Audit hook fired for every allowed command.
docker_binary: Override (e.g. ``"podman"``).
shell: Shell binary to invoke inside the container. Defaults to
``"bash"``; pass ``"sh"`` for minimal images such as Alpine
that don't ship bash. Anything else must be present on
``$PATH`` inside the image.

"""Shell executor protocol.
A :class:`ShellExecutor` is the swappable backend for shell-tool execution.
``LocalShellTool`` runs commands directly on the host with no process-level
isolation; the approval-in-the-loop gate is the intended boundary.
``DockerShellTool`` runs commands inside a container — when the container
runtime is trusted and the default isolation flags are kept, the container
is the intended boundary instead of approval.
The protocol is intentionally minimal so callers can plug in their own
executor (e.g. a Firecracker microVM, a remote SSH host, a WASI runtime
that ships a busybox-WASM build) without forking the framework.
**Single-session ownership.** An executor instance — and the shell tool
that wraps it — is intended to serve a single conversation / agent session,
i.e. a single user. In persistent mode the executor owns a long-lived
shell process (and, for ``DockerShellTool``, a long-lived container) whose
state — working directory, exported variables, command history, in-flight
background jobs, files written to the container — is visible to every
subsequent command. A single stdin/stdout pipe serializes every call,
and the framework does not isolate one caller's state from another's.
Build one executor / one shell tool per session, treat it as owned by
that session for its lifetime, and close it when the session ends. Do
not share a persistent-mode instance across users, tenants, or concurrent
conversations. If a shared instance is genuinely required, construct the
shell tool with ``mode="stateless"`` so every call spawns a fresh process
or container.

r"""Policy model for :class:`LocalShellTool` and :class:`DockerShellTool`.
``ShellPolicy`` is evaluated *before* approval and *before* execution. It
lets callers define allow/deny rules and an optional final custom callback.
.. warning::
**Not a security boundary; not even a security feature.** ``ShellPolicy``
is a UX pre-filter: it gives operators a way to surface a friendly error
for site-specific patterns (e.g. "we don't run ``ssh`` from this agent",
"block our prod hostname") before approval and before execution. It is
**not** a defense against a malicious model or prompt-injected input.
Regex matching on the command spelling cannot see what the shell will
actually execute after expansion. Trivial bypasses include backslash
insertion (``r''m -rf /``), variable expansion (``${RM:=rm} -rf /``),
interpreter escape hatches (``python -c "import os; os.system('rm -rf /')"``),
base64 / hex / printf smuggling (``eval $(printf '\\x72\\x6d -rf /')``),
command substitution (``$(base64 -d <<<...)``), envvar splicing
(``$(A=r B=m; echo $A$B) -rf /``), and absolute paths
(``/usr/bin/rm`` matches ``\\brm\\b`` only when the pattern is loose).
**No default patterns.** ``ShellPolicy()`` constructs an empty deny-list.
The framework deliberately ships no built-in patterns so it does not
give a false impression of safety. Survey of competing agent frameworks
(LangChain, AutoGen, OpenAI Agents SDK, Claude Code, Goose, Continue.dev,
OpenHands, Open Interpreter, Aider, smolagents, LangGraph) found that
none use regex matching as a primary security control; AutoGen v2
explicitly removed their built-in deny-list.
The actual security boundary is **(a) approval-in-the-loop** (default
``approval_mode="always_require"``) and **(b) operator trust / sandbox
tier**. For untrusted input use ``DockerShellTool`` or
``HyperlightCodeActProvider`` (microVM); pair either with approval gating.

"""Persistent shell session.
A :class:`ShellSession` launches a long-lived shell subprocess and executes
commands one at a time by writing them to stdin followed by a **sentinel
probe** that reports the exit status. Reading stdout until the sentinel
appears gives a reliable command boundary without relying on job control
or PTYs, which keeps the same code path working on bash, sh, and pwsh.
**Single-owner contract.** A :class:`ShellSession` is owned by exactly one
conversation / agent session — i.e. one user. The backing shell process
carries mutable state (cwd, exported variables, history, background jobs)
that every subsequent command can observe, and the internal
``asyncio.Lock`` serializes every call onto the single stdin/stdout pipe.
There is no per-caller isolation. The enclosing shell tool must not share
a single session across users, tenants, or concurrent conversations; it
must create one session per agent session and close it when the session
ends.
Notes:
* ``pwsh -NoProfile -NoLogo -NonInteractive -Command -`` waits for a
complete parse before executing, so multi-line ``try`` blocks stall
with stdin open. To avoid that, the user command is base64-encoded
and invoked with ``Invoke-Expression`` on a single line.
* ``Write-Output`` routes through the PowerShell pipeline formatter,
which may drop trailing newlines when stdout is redirected. The
sentinel is emitted via ``[Console]::WriteLine`` followed by an
explicit ``[Console]::Out.Flush()``.
* ``$LASTEXITCODE`` only tracks external-process exits, so the rc is
also derived from ``$?`` and caught exceptions.
* stdout and stderr are consumed by **persistent reader tasks** that
run for the lifetime of the session. Each ``run()`` snapshots buffer
offsets before writing the command and scans forward from there.
This avoids ``read() called while another coroutine is already
waiting`` errors from per-call ``wait_for(stream.read())`` loops and
prevents late stderr from being attributed to the next command.

"""Cross-OS local shell tool that plugs into any agent-framework chat client.
Typical use::
shell = LocalShellTool()
agent = Agent(
client=client,
tools=[client.get_shell_tool(func=shell.as_function())],
)
Or as an async context manager (recommended in persistent mode so the
session is cleaned up on exit)::
async with LocalShellTool() as shell:
...
**Single-session ownership.** A persistent-mode :class:`LocalShellTool`
is owned by a single conversation / agent session — i.e. one user.
The backing shell process carries mutable state (cwd, exported
variables, shell history, background jobs) that every subsequent
command can observe, and a single stdin/stdout pipe serializes every
call. Do not share one instance across users, tenants, or concurrent
conversations: state leaks between them and commands queue behind
each other. Create one tool per session, close it (or use ``async
with``) when the session ends. If a shared instance is genuinely
required, construct with ``mode="stateless"`` so each call spawns a
fresh subprocess.
Args:
mode: ``"persistent"`` (default) keeps a single long-lived shell
subprocess so ``cd`` / ``export`` carry across calls.
``"stateless"`` spawns a fresh subprocess per call.
shell: Optional shell argv override. String values are tokenised.
When omitted, the platform default is used (``pwsh`` or
``powershell`` on Windows, ``bash`` or ``sh`` on Unix). May also
be overridden via the ``AGENT_FRAMEWORK_SHELL`` env var.
workdir: Working directory for commands. Defaults to the current
working directory. In persistent mode, each command is
re-anchored to this directory when ``confine_workdir=True`` —
see that argument for the exact semantics and caveats.
confine_workdir: When ``True`` (default), each command in persistent
mode is prefixed with a ``cd`` back into ``workdir`` so
``cd``-wandering in one call does not leak to the next. This is
a **re-anchor**, not a hard confinement — a command that does
``cd /tmp && rm -rf .`` in one call can still touch ``/tmp``.
Use :class:`ShellPolicy` or a sandboxed executor for true
confinement.
env: Seed environment. In stateless mode this replaces the child's
environment unless ``clean_env=False``. In persistent mode the
variables are exported before the session is used.
clean_env: When ``True``, do **not** inherit ``os.environ``; only
the variables supplied in ``env`` are visible to commands.
policy: Policy applied before approval. Defaults to an empty
:class:`ShellPolicy()` which allows every command; supply
explicit ``denylist``/``allowlist`` patterns to filter. The
policy is a UX pre-filter, not a security boundary — approval
gating + sandbox tier are the real defenses.
timeout: Per-command timeout in seconds. ``None`` disables. Default
30 s.
max_output_bytes: Combined stdout/stderr byte cap before truncation.
Default 64 KiB.
approval_mode: ``"always_require"`` (default) or ``"never_require"``.
Controls the ``FunctionTool.approval_mode`` on the returned
function, which the framework uses to gate execution via
``user_input_requests``. **Approval is the actual security
boundary of this tool** — disabling it requires
``acknowledge_unsafe=True``.
acknowledge_unsafe: Required to be ``True`` if you set
``approval_mode="never_require"``. ``ShellPolicy`` is a UX
pre-filter, not a security boundary; without approval the tool
will execute any command the model emits.
on_command: Optional audit hook called with the command string for
every command that passes policy. Use for logging / telemetry.

OpenAI Chat Client with Local Shell Tool Example
This sample demonstrates implementing a local shell tool using get_shell_tool(func=...)
that wraps Python's subprocess module. Unlike the hosted shell tool (get_shell_tool()),
local shell execution runs commands on YOUR machine, not in a remote container.
This sample uses ``LocalShellTool`` from ``agent-framework-tools`` — the
framework-supplied cross-OS shell executor with safe defaults (approval
required, timeout, output truncation, workdir confinement). Operators
can additionally supply a ``ShellPolicy`` with allow/deny patterns as a
UX pre-filter; the tool ships with no default deny patterns.
Currently not all models support the shell tool. Refer to the OpenAI documentation for the
list of supported models: https://developers.openai.com/api/docs/models/

LocalShellTool wired with a ShellEnvironmentProvider context provider.
The provider probes the underlying shell once per provider lifetime and
injects an instructions block describing the shell family, OS, working
directory, and a configurable list of CLI tools. This helps the model
emit commands in the correct idiom (e.g. PowerShell vs bash) and avoids
asking it to use tools that are not installed.
Two phases are demonstrated:
* **Stateless** mode — each ``run`` call spawns a fresh shell, so
``cd`` does not carry across calls.
* **Persistent** mode — a single long-lived shell process backs every
call, so ``cd`` and exported environment variables persist.
Approval gating is disabled so the demo runs unattended. Real
applications should keep approval on, or use ``DockerShellTool``.
