Execution Tools

Secure code execution, command running, and package management in isolated sandbox environments.

Execution Tools

Execute code and commands securely within isolated sandbox environments with comprehensive package management and resource controls.

🔒 Secure Execution Environment

All execution tools run in isolated containers with resource limits, network controls, and file system sandboxing for maximum security.

Security Architecture

Execution Isolation

Security Features

🛡️ Multi-Layer Security

  • Container Isolation: Each execution runs in a separate container
  • Resource Limits: CPU, memory, and execution time constraints
  • Network Controls: Restricted outbound connectivity with policy enforcement
  • File System Sandboxing: Isolated file operations with permission controls
  • Output Sanitization: All outputs are validated and sanitized
  • Process Monitoring: Real-time tracking of execution behavior

Execution Capabilities

Code Execution Features

Command Execution Capabilities

⚠️ Command Execution Security

Command execution is heavily restricted and monitored. Only safe, pre-approved commands are allowed.

Supported Operations:

  • File Operations - ls, cp, mv, rm, mkdir, chmod (restricted)
  • Text Processing - grep, sed, awk, sort, uniq
  • Archive Operations - tar, gzip, unzip (size limits apply)
  • System Information - ps, df, free, uname (limited output)
  • Network Tools - ping, curl, wget (restricted destinations)

Security Restrictions:

  • Whitelist of allowed commands
  • Argument validation and sanitization
  • Output size limits
  • Execution timeout controls
  • Network destination restrictions

Package Management

Performance & Limits

Resource Constraints

ResourceLimitDescription

Network Bandwidth100MB/minDownload/upload rate limiting
File Operations1000/minMaximum file I/O operations

Performance Optimization

💡 Performance Tips

  • Batch Operations: Combine multiple operations to reduce overhead
  • Memory Management: Clean up variables and close files explicitly
  • Efficient Libraries: Use optimized libraries (numpy, pandas) for data processing
  • Output Streaming: Process large datasets in chunks rather than loading entirely
  • Resource Monitoring: Check resource usage within scripts to avoid limits

Common Patterns

Data Processing Workflow

# Efficient data processing pattern
import pandas as pd
import numpy as np

# Read data in chunks for large files
chunk_size = 10000
processed_data = []

for chunk in pd.read_csv('large_file.csv', chunksize=chunk_size):
    # Process each chunk
    chunk_processed = chunk.groupby('category').agg({
        'value': 'sum',
        'count': 'size'
    })
    processed_data.append(chunk_processed)

# Combine results
final_result = pd.concat(processed_data).groupby(level=0).sum()
final_result.to_csv('output.csv')

Package Installation Pattern

# Install required packages at runtime
import subprocess
import sys

def install_package(package):
    subprocess.check_call([sys.executable, '-m', 'pip', 'install', package])

# Install packages as needed
required_packages = ['scikit-learn', 'seaborn']
for package in required_packages:
    install_package(package)

# Now use the packages
import sklearn
import seaborn as sns

Error Handling Pattern

import logging
import traceback

# Set up logging
logging.basicConfig(level=logging.INFO)
logger = logging.getLogger(__name__)

try:
    # Your code here
    result = process_data()
    logger.info(f"Processing completed successfully: {len(result)} records")
    
except MemoryError:
    logger.error("Memory limit exceeded. Try processing in smaller chunks.")
    raise
except TimeoutError:
    logger.error("Execution timeout. Optimize code or request more time.")
    raise
except Exception as e:
    logger.error(f"Unexpected error: {str(e)}")
    logger.error(traceback.format_exc())
    raise

Integration Patterns

With File System Tools

# Workflow: Upload → Process → Download
# 1. File uploaded via file system tools
input_file = 'uploaded_data.csv'

# 2. Process with code execution
data = pd.read_csv(input_file)
processed = perform_analysis(data)
processed.to_csv('results.csv')

# 3. Download results via file system tools
output_file = 'results.csv'

With Web Tools

# Workflow: Web Search → Process → Generate Report
# 1. Data collected via web tools
search_results = 'search_data.json'

# 2. Process with code execution
with open(search_results, 'r') as f:
    data = json.load(f)

analysis = analyze_web_data(data)
generate_insights(analysis)

# 3. Results ready for document generation

Best Practices

📋 Execution Best Practices

Code Quality

  1. Error Handling - Always implement comprehensive error handling
  2. Resource Cleanup - Close files and clean up resources explicitly
  3. Progress Logging - Log progress for long-running operations
  4. Input Validation - Validate all inputs before processing

Security Guidelines

  1. Input Sanitization - Clean and validate all external inputs
  2. Output Verification - Verify outputs before returning to workflow
  3. Dependency Management - Only install necessary packages
  4. Resource Monitoring - Monitor and respect resource limits

Performance Optimization

  1. Efficient Algorithms - Choose optimal algorithms for data size
  2. Memory Management - Process large datasets in chunks
  3. Caching - Cache expensive computations when appropriate
  4. Profiling - Profile code to identify performance bottlenecks

Troubleshooting

Common Issues

ProblemSymptomsSolution
Memory Limit ExceededMemoryError, process killedProcess data in smaller chunks, optimize memory usage
Execution TimeoutTimeoutError, operation cancelledOptimize algorithm, reduce data size, or request more time
Package Installation FailedModuleNotFoundError, import errorsCheck package name, verify network connectivity, use package installer
Permission DeniedPermissionError, access violationsEnsure file permissions, use correct file paths within sandbox
Network RestrictionsConnection errors, blocked requestsVerify URL whitelist, use HTTPS, check network policies

Debugging Tips

🐛 Debugging Guidelines

  • Use Logging: Add comprehensive logging to track execution flow
  • Check Resource Usage: Monitor CPU and memory consumption
  • Validate Inputs: Ensure input data format and content are correct
  • Test Incrementally: Test with smaller datasets before full execution
  • Review Error Messages: Read complete error traces for specific issues

Next Steps: Start with Code Execution for script execution, or explore Package Installer for dependency management.
