# Sandbox Bash

> Use this tool when you need to execute shell commands securely and isolate them from your host system. Sandbox Bash solves the problem of safely running untrusted or potentially malicious bash commands by providing a layered security approach with network isolation, capability dropping, and filesystem restrictions. It is ideal for AI agent workflows that require running shell commands with configurable resource limits and minimal risk of system compromise.
