NVIDIA OpenShell#
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.
Run openshell --help in your terminal to see the full CLI reference, including all commands and flags. You can also clone the OpenShell repository and use the /openshell-cli skill to load the CLI reference into your agent.
Proceed to the Quickstart for more details.
