Execute Code

When you need to execute code safely:

1. Check if RLM Runtime is installed:

   • Run: which rlm or rlm --version
   • If not found, suggest: pip install rlm-runtime[all]

2. For safe execution, use Docker environment:

   • rlm run --env docker "Your task here"
   • Docker provides isolation from host system

3. For quick local execution (trusted code only):

   • rlm run "Your task here"

4. Common patterns:

   • Run tests: rlm run --env docker "Run pytest for the authentication module"
   • Validate code: rlm run --env docker "Check if the API endpoint returns valid JSON"
   • Complex computation: rlm run --env docker "Parse logs and extract top 5 error messages"

5. View execution logs:

   • rlm logs - See recent executions
   • rlm visualize - Launch interactive trajectory viewer

When to use:

• User asks to "run tests", "execute code", "validate implementation"
• You need to verify code behavior before suggesting changes
• Complex data processing or computation needed
• Running potentially unsafe user code (always use Docker)

When NOT to use:

• Simple code review or explanation
• Reading or editing files (use Read/Edit tools instead)
• git operations (use Bash tool instead)
