🔒 Containment

Level: maximum

Required:

SANDBOX_CONTAINER: Code execution capability

Recommended:

LOG_ACTIONS: Audit trail for all actions

⚡ Risks

Command injection risk: COMMAND_INJECTION_EVAL critical

Mitigation: Avoid eval(), exec(), and compile(). Use safer alternatives like ast.literal_eval()

Social engineering indicators: SOCIAL_ENG_VAGUE_DESCRIPTION low

Mitigation: Provide clear, detailed description of skill functionality
