Explain the internal working of OpenClaw's Docker sandbox management within the Agent Runtime?

1. When a tool call is dispatched, the Agent Runtime checks the configured sandbox mode before deciding how to execute it
2. If Docker-based sandboxing is enabled, the Agent Runtime manages spinning up an isolated container scoped to that execution, rather than running the tool call directly against the host
3. The tool call executes inside that container, with OS-level filesystem isolation constraining what it can actually reach on the underlying host
4. Once execution completes, the result is captured and returned to the reasoning loop, and the container is torn down or recycled depending on configuration
5. If sandbox mode is off, this entire isolation step is skipped, and the tool call executes with the same permissions as the account running OpenClaw

Because this sandbox management lives inside the Agent Runtime rather than being bolted on separately, whether isolation actually happens is entirely dependent on that sandbox mode setting being configured correctly in the first place, there's no fallback layer catching a misconfiguration after the fact.
