With Data Analysis Tools
# Integration with data analysis workflow

"""Complete data analysis workflow with file management."""
# 1. File upload and organization
raw_data_files = await uploadFile({

})
# 3. Automated data profiling
for file_info in data_files:

# Analyze data structure (using xlsx-analysis capabilities)
if file_info['path'].endswith('.xlsx'):

# Save analysis report

- Size Limits - Respect file size limits and monitor total storage usage
- Virus Scanning - All uploads are automatically scanned for malware
- Content Filtering - Sensitive content is automatically detected and flagged
Access Control
- Path Validation - All file paths are validated to prevent directory traversal
- Permission Checks - File operations respect sandbox permission boundaries
- Audit Logging - All file operations are logged for security monitoring
- Encryption - Files are encrypted at rest within the sandbox environment
Data Protection
- Data Sanitization - File contents are sanitized before download
- Temporary Cleanup - Temporary files are automatically cleaned up
- Secure Deletion - Deleted files are securely overwritten
- Backup Management - Regular backups with secure retention policies
