File contents

PRTS Sandbox

An isolated Kali Linux 2025.4 container. All pentest tools and risky commands run here — never on the host.

Script path

~/.openclaw/skills/prts-sandbox/scripts/sandbox-cmd.sh

When to use sandbox vs host

Task	Where
Running pentest tools (nmap, hydra, sqlmap, etc.)	✅ Sandbox
Executing downloaded/unknown scripts	✅ Sandbox
Anything that could break the host	✅ Sandbox
Editing memory/SOUL.md/agent files	❌ Host
Reading internal agent files	❌ Host

How to run a command (3 steps)

Step 1 — Check if sandbox is running:

~/.openclaw/skills/prts-sandbox/scripts/sandbox-cmd.sh status
# Returns: true (running) or false (stopped)

Step 2 — Start it if stopped (or Reset if error occurs):

~/.openclaw/skills/prts-sandbox/scripts/sandbox-cmd.sh start
# CRITICAL RULE: If the start command fails with an error stating "the container name 'protocol-space-active' is already in use", you MUST run `reset`:
~/.openclaw/skills/prts-sandbox/scripts/sandbox-cmd.sh reset

Step 3 — Execute your command:

~/.openclaw/skills/prts-sandbox/scripts/sandbox-cmd.sh exec nmap -sV 192.168.1.1
~/.openclaw/skills/prts-sandbox/scripts/sandbox-cmd.sh exec sqlmap -u "http://target/page?id=1"
~/.openclaw/skills/prts-sandbox/scripts/sandbox-cmd.sh exec sh -c "hydra -l admin -P /wordlist.txt ssh://192.168.1.10"

TroubleshootingStep 2 — Start it if stopped (or Reset if error occurs):

~/.openclaw/skills/prts-sandbox/scripts/sandbox-cmd.sh start

| Problem | Fix |
|---------|-----|
| Commands fail / sandbox behaves oddly | Run `sandbox-cmd.sh reset` |
| API unreachable | Tell user: "Protocol Spaces API is offline" |
| Need a new tool installed | Ask user to install it — do NOT run `apt-get install` yourself |
| `start` returns error: "container name is already in use" | Run `sandbox-cmd.sh reset`, then verify `status` is true. |
