Docker sandbox tools for Axio

axio-tools-docker

Docker sandbox tools for axio.

Run agent-generated code and commands inside isolated Docker containers. The agent gets sandbox_exec, sandbox_write, and sandbox_read tools that operate entirely within the sandbox — the host filesystem stays untouched.

Features

• Isolated execution — code runs inside a Docker container, not on the host
• Configurable image — use any Docker image as the sandbox environment
• Three sandboxed tools — execute commands, write files, read files — all inside the container
• Persistent sandbox — container is reused across tool calls within a session for faster execution
• TUI integration — configure image, memory limits, and CPU from the axio-tui settings screen

Requirements

Docker must be installed and running:

docker info   # should succeed

Installation

pip install axio-tools-docker

Usage

from axio import Agent
from axio.context import MemoryContextStore
from axio_transport_openai import OpenAITransport
from axio_tools_docker.plugin import DockerPlugin

async def main() -> None:
    plugin = DockerPlugin()
    await plugin.init()   # uses default config (python:3.12-slim)

    agent = Agent(
        system=(
            "You are a coding assistant. Use sandbox_exec to run code safely. "
            "Never attempt to access the host filesystem directly."
        ),
        tools=plugin.all_tools,
        transport=OpenAITransport(api_key="sk-...", model="gpt-4o"),
    )

    ctx = MemoryContextStore()
    result = await agent.run(
        "Write a Python script that computes the first 20 Fibonacci numbers and run it.",
        ctx,
    )
    print(result)

Sandbox tools

Tool	Description
sandbox_exec	Run a shell command inside the container; returns stdout + stderr
sandbox_write	Write a file into the container's filesystem
sandbox_read	Read a file from the container's filesystem

Configuration

from axio_tools_docker.config import SandboxConfig

config = SandboxConfig(
    image="python:3.12-slim",
    memory_limit="512m",
    cpu_quota=100000,    # 1 CPU
    work_dir="/workspace",
)

Plugin registration
