⚙️ Security Considerations

Code Execution Risks

⚠️ CRITICAL: This agent executes generated code via pytest and shell commands. Potential Risks:

  1. Arbitrary Code Execution: The debugging agent can write and run Python code
  2. File System Access: Agents can read/write files in the project directory
  3. Network Requests: The google_search_tool makes external HTTP requests
  4. Shell Commands: The shell_executor_tool runs system commands

Safe Usage Guidelines

✅ DO:

  • Run in isolated Virtual Machines (VirtualBox, VMware, etc.)
  • Use Docker containers with resource limits
  • Run in WSL2 with limited permissions (Windows users)
  • Use Python virtual environments
  • Keep git for instant rollback
  • Review code before running autonomous fixes
  • Set environment variable limits (e.g., max file size)
  • Monitor resource usage

❌ DON'T:

  • Run on production servers
  • Give elevated privileges (sudo/admin)
  • Run on systems with sensitive data
  • Allow access outside project directory
  • Run on corporate networks without approval
  • Execute on untrusted/unknown code
  • Use your primary development machine without VM
