How to run agent tools inside a remote sandbox with Unreal Agent

Send serialized operations from a proxy operations manager to a local manager inside a remote sandbox.

Authorization notice. Unreal Agent is dual-use. Only use it on software, sites and systems you own or have explicit permission to test.

Remote script. Bash commands run inside the remote sandbox, so limit the sandbox's network and file access to what the task needs.

Who it is forA platform engineer who wants agent tool execution isolated from the host machine and run in a remote sandbox.

The problemLetting an agent run commands on the host creates risk that the host cannot easily contain.

The outcomeTool operations execute in the remote sandbox and their results return to the agent as model results.

What you need first

  • Go toolchain (inferred from the repo language)
  • git, to clone the repo
  • An LLM provider that the LLM Adapter can reach (the README does not name one)

Steps

  1. git clone https://github.com/unreallabsai/unreal-agent (inferred, check the README)
  2. Start a local operations manager in a process inside the remote sandbox.
  3. Configure a proxy operations manager on the host to send serialized operations to that sandbox process.
  4. Select the Bash tool in the host-selected tool set so its operations go through the proxy.
  5. Check that the output of a sandbox command returns to the session as the tool result.

Prompt for your agent

Using the unreal-agent repo at <repo path>, set up a proxy operations manager that sends serialized operations to a local operations manager in <sandbox name>. Expected output: the result of a harmless Bash command run inside the sandbox, shown in the session. Verify that the command ran in the sandbox and not on the host.

Caveat. The README gives the proxy and local operations manager pattern as an example, so the setup steps for a specific sandbox must be worked out from the source.
