NVIDIA OpenShell#

GitHub License PyPI

NVIDIA OpenShell is the safe, private runtime for autonomous AI agents. It provides sandboxed execution environments that protect your data, credentials, and infrastructure. Agents run with exactly the permissions they need and nothing more, governed by declarative policies that prevent unauthorized file access, data exfiltration, and uncontrolled network activity.

Get Started#

Install the CLI and create your first sandbox in two commands.

$ uv pip install openshell
$ openshell sandbox create -- claude--from openclaw-- opencode-- codex

Refer to the Quickstart for more details.
