# sandbox
# `openclaw sandbox`
Manage Docker-based isolated containers for secure agent execution.
## Overview
The OpenClaw sandbox system manages Docker-based isolated containers for secure agent execution. The CLI provides tools to inspect, list, and recreate these containers when configurations or images change.
## Key Commands
**`openclaw sandbox explain`** displays effective sandbox settings, including mode, scope, workspace access, and tool policies with relevant configuration paths.
**`openclaw sandbox list`** enumerates all sandbox containers, showing their operational status, Docker image details, creation time, idle duration, and associated session/agent information.
**`openclaw sandbox recreate`** forcefully removes containers to trigger fresh initialization with current images and configurations. Supports filtering by session, agent, or container type.
## Examples
```bash
openclaw sandbox explain
openclaw sandbox list
openclaw sandbox recreate
openclaw sandbox recreate --session <id>
openclaw sandbox recreate --agent <id>
```
## Primary Use Cases
After updating Docker images or modifying sandbox configuration settings, the recreate command ensures containers reflect these changes rather than persisting with outdated configurations. This addresses a core issue: existing containers continue running with old settings while the system waits up to 24 hours for automatic pruning.
## Configuration Location
Sandbox settings reside in `~/.openclaw/openclaw.json` under `agents.defaults.sandbox`, with per-agent overrides available in `agents.list[].sandbox`. Key parameters include:
* Execution mode (off/non-main/all)
* Scope level (session/agent/shared)
* Docker image specification
* Pruning thresholds
