> For production deployments, set both `"restrictToWorkspace": true` and `"tools.exec.sandbox": "bwrap"` in your config. `restrictToWorkspace` enables nanobot's application-level workspace guards; `tools.exec.sandbox` provides process-level isolation for shell commands.

| Option | Default | Description |
|
||||
|--------|---------|-------------|
|
||||
| `tools.restrictToWorkspace` | `false` | When `true`, restricts **all** agent tools (shell, file read/write/edit, list) to the workspace directory. Prevents path traversal and out-of-scope access. |
|
||||
| `tools.exec.sandbox` | `""` | Sandbox backend for shell commands. Set to `"bwrap"` to wrap exec calls in a [bubblewrap](https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap) sandbox — the process can only see the workspace (read-write) and media directory (read-only); config files and API keys are hidden. Automatically enables `restrictToWorkspace` for file tools. **Linux only** — requires `bwrap` installed (`apt install bubblewrap`; pre-installed in the Docker image). Not available on macOS or Windows (bwrap depends on Linux kernel namespaces). |
|
||||
| `tools.restrictToWorkspace` | `false` | When `true`, enables nanobot's application-level workspace guards for workspace-aware tools. File tools resolve paths under the active workspace; selected internal roots can be added as read-only or explicitly write-enabled roots, and media uploads are read-only by default. Shell execution rejects workspace-external `working_dir` values and applies best-effort command path checks, but this is not an OS sandbox. |
|
||||
| `tools.exec.sandbox` | `""` | Sandbox backend for shell commands. Set to `"bwrap"` to wrap exec calls in a [bubblewrap](https://github.com/containers/bubblewrap) sandbox — the process can only see the workspace (read-write) and media directory (read-only); config files and API keys are hidden. Automatically enables workspace restriction for file tools. **Linux only** — requires `bwrap` installed (`apt install bubblewrap`; pre-installed in the Docker image). Not available on macOS or Windows (bwrap depends on Linux kernel namespaces). |
|
||||
| `tools.exec.enable` | `true` | When `false`, the shell `exec` tool is not registered at all. Use this to completely disable shell command execution. |
|
||||
| `tools.exec.timeout` | `60` | Default hard timeout in seconds for shell commands. Config values may exceed the per-call tool cap; set `0` to disable the hard timeout for trusted long-running commands. |
|
||||
| `tools.exec.pathPrepend` | `""` | Extra directories to prepend to `PATH` when running shell commands. Use this when configured tools should win executable lookup precedence, such as a Python virtual environment's `bin` or `Scripts` directory. |
