🚀 smolagents v1.21.0 is here!
Now with improved safety in the local Python executor: dunder calls are blocked!
⚠️ Still, not fully isolated: for untrusted code, use a remote executor instead: Docker, E2B, Wasm.
✨ Many bug fixes: more reliable code.

🚀 New in smolagents v1.20.0: Remote Python Execution via WebAssembly (Wasm)
We've just merged a major new capability into the smolagents framework: the CodeAgent can now execute Python code remotely in a secure, sandboxed WebAssembly environment!
🔧 Powered by Pyodide and Deno, this new WasmExecutor lets your agent-generated Python code run safely: without relying on Docker or local execution.
Why this matters:
✅ Isolated execution = no host access
✅ No need for Python on the user's machine
✅ Safer evaluation of arbitrary code
✅ Compatible with serverless / edge agent workloads
✅ Ideal for constrained or untrusted environments
This is just the beginning: a focused initial implementation with known limitations. A solid MVP designed for secure, sandboxed use cases. 💡
💡 We're inviting the open-source community to help evolve this executor:
• Tackle more advanced Python features
• Expand compatibility
• Add test coverage
• Shape the next-gen secure agent runtime
🔗 Check out the PR: https://github.com/huggingface/smolagents/pull/1261
Let's reimagine what agent-driven Python execution can look like: remote-first, wasm-secure, and community-built.
This feature is live in smolagents v1.20.0!
Try it out.
Break things. Extend it. Give us feedback.
Let's build safer, smarter agents; together 🧠⚙️

🚀 New smolagents update: Safer Local Python Execution! 🦾🐍
With the latest release, we've added security checks to the local Python interpreter: every evaluation is now analyzed for dangerous builtins, modules, and functions. 🔒
Here's why this matters & what you need to know! 🧵👇
1️⃣ Why is local execution risky? ⚠️
AI agents that run arbitrary Python code can unintentionally (or maliciously) access system files, run unsafe commands, or exfiltrate data.
2️⃣ New Safety Layer in smolagents 🛡️
We now inspect every return value during execution:
✅ Allowed: Safe built-in types (e.g., numbers, strings, lists)
⛔ Blocked: Dangerous functions/modules (e.g., os.system, subprocess, exec, shutil)
3️⃣ Immediate Benefits 💡
- Prevent agents from accessing unsafe builtins
- Block unauthorized file or network access
- Reduce accidental security vulnerabilities
4️⃣ Security Disclaimer ⚠️
🚨 Despite these improvements, local Python execution is NEVER 100% safe. 🚨
If you need true isolation, use a remote sandboxed executor like Docker or E2B.
5️⃣ The Best Practice: Use Sandboxed Execution 🔐
For production-grade AI agents, we strongly recommend running code in a Docker or E2B sandbox to ensure complete isolation.
6️⃣ Upgrade Now & Stay Safe! 🚀
Check out the latest smolagents release and start building safer AI agents today.

🚀 Big news for AI agents! With the latest release of smolagents, you can now securely execute Python code in sandboxed Docker or E2B environments. 🦾🔒
Here's why this is a game-changer for agent-based systems: 🧵👇
1️⃣ Security First 🔐
Running AI agents in unrestricted Python environments is risky! With sandboxing, your agents are isolated, preventing unintended file access, network abuse, or system modifications.
2️⃣ Deterministic & Reproducible Runs 📦
By running agents in containerized environments, you ensure that every execution happens in a controlled and predictable setting—no more environment mismatches or dependency issues!
3️⃣ Resource Control & Limits 🚦
Docker and E2B allow you to enforce CPU, memory, and execution time limits, so rogue or inefficient agents don’t spiral out of control.
4️⃣ Safer Code Execution in Production 🏭
Deploy AI agents confidently, knowing that any generated code runs in an ephemeral, isolated environment, protecting your host machine and infrastructure.
5️⃣ Easy to Integrate 🛠️
With smolagents, you can simply configure your agent to use Docker or E2B as its execution backend—no need for complex security setups!
6️⃣ Perfect for Autonomous AI Agents 🤖
If your AI agents generate and execute code dynamically, this is a must-have to avoid security pitfalls while enabling advanced automation.
