@openclaw/openshell-sandbox

Official NVIDIA OpenShell sandbox backend for OpenClaw.

This plugin lets OpenClaw use OpenShell-managed sandboxes with mirrored local workspaces and SSH command execution.

Configuring an OpenShell workspace requires OpenShell v0.0.88 or newer. The plugin supports OpenShell control-plane workspaces through plugins.entries.openshell.config.workspace; this is separate from OpenClaw's local/remote filesystem workspace mode. The setting applies to the whole plugin instance, not individual agents or sessions. When unset, the plugin preserves the OpenShell CLI's ambient OPENSHELL_WORKSPACE selection, or its default fallback when no ambient selection exists.

Install

openclaw plugins install @openclaw/openshell-sandbox
