The commands an agent can run are determined by the software you install into its VM. This example declares a software set so a shell pipeline like echo hello | grep hello resolves inside the sandbox.
How it works
agentOS({ software: [...] }) takes a list of imported software packages, and together they define the CLI surface available to the guest. Common utilities — coreutils, sed, grep, gawk, findutils, diffutils, tar, and gzip — ship by default, so you only list the extras you need; here pi adds the agent itself. The client then runs commands through the VM via exec, which only succeed when the underlying binaries are present in the declared software set.
Run it
npm install
npm run server # starts the registry on http://localhost:6420
npm run client # runs "echo hello | grep hello" in the VM, prints "hello"Source
