summary: Safe, sandboxed runtimes for autonomous AI agents
description: |
  OpenShell provides safe, sandboxed runtimes for autonomous AI agents.
  It offers a CLI for managing gateways, sandboxes, and providers with
  policy-enforced egress routing, credential proxying, and privacy-aware
  LLM inference routing.

  The OpenShell snap ships a CLI (`openshell`), a terminal UI
  (`openshell.term`), and a managed gateway daemon (`openshell.gateway`).

  **Setup instructions**

    1. Install the Docker snap:

         sudo snap install docker

       Support for system-installed Docker is coming in snapd 2.76.

    2. Connect the required interfaces and start the gateway:

         sudo snap connect openshell:docker docker:docker-daemon
         sudo snap connect openshell:log-observe
         sudo snap connect openshell:system-observe
         sudo snap start openshell.gateway

    3. Verify the gateway and register it locally:

         snap services openshell.gateway
         openshell status
         openshell gateway add http://127.0.0.1:17670 --local --name openshell-gateway

    After a snap refresh, restart the gateway to pick up the new revision:

         sudo snap restart openshell.gateway

    Restarting the gateway will interrupt active sandbox sessions. The gateway
    is not restarted automatically to avoid disconnecting running sandboxes.
