DeepSeek Harness Plugin

apex-mochen/dsh-sandbox-arg-guard

Category Security & Permissions Added 2026-09-18

Keeps a redundant sandbox-escalation argument from failing a tool call. Escalating tools (pwsh, bash, write, edit) advertise the full sandbox_permissions enum, but DSH only accepts a level strictly wider than the one already in effect — a check its own source calls 'deliberately not a schema constraint'. A model that reflexively passes the argument therefore picks the level it is already at and the call dies before running with 'sandbox escalation to "workspace-write" is not strictly wider than this call's current "workspace-write" mode', costing some models a whole turn of retries. This plugin registers one tools/execute waterfall listener and, only on that documented rejection and only when the arguments really carried an escalation field, re-issues the identical call once without it. Safe by DSH's own documentation: the rejection precedes any execution ('nothing has run'), and the corrected call cannot match again, so the retry is loop-free. Reproduced and verified end to end — before: isError true, the command never ran; after: the command's real output, isError false, one tool/call and one tool/result. Zero dependencies.

Install

# from GitHub (first run asks for allowBuilds approval — follow the hint, retry)

dsh plugin --profile web add github:apex-mochen/dsh-sandbox-arg-guard

Any plugin you install runs third-party code with your own permissions — it can read your files, use your credentials, and reach the network, and tool approvals don’t sandbox it. GitHub-sourced plugins also run build scripts at install time — pnpm blocks those until you allow them, so an install can stop with ERR_PNPM_GIT_DEP_PREPARE_NOT_ALLOWED or ERR_PNPM_IGNORED_BUILDS; dsh prints the exact key to add under allowBuilds in your profile’s pnpm-workspace.yaml, and the install works on the next run. Allowing a build is a trust decision: only install sources you trust, and pin a commit (github:owner/repo#sha).
