* fix(tools): sandbox FileWriterTool writes and fix file tool rough edges

FileReadTool confined reads to the working directory, but FileWriterTool
only checked that `filename` stayed inside `directory` — and `directory`
itself is an LLM-supplied schema field. An agent could therefore write
anywhere the process had permission to, including ~/.ssh and site-packages,
while the reader refused to read back what the writer had just written.
FileWriterTool was the only filesystem tool in the package that did not go
through validate_file_path; files_compressor_tool validates even its
output path.

Writes are now confined to base_dir (the working directory by default):
the resolved directory must sit inside base_dir, and the resolved file
must sit inside that directory. The pre-existing filename containment
check is kept as-is and still applies even when the unsafe-paths escape
hatch is on, so no existing guarantee is weakened.

Both tools gain a base_dir field so a developer can widen the sandbox
deliberately instead of reaching for the process-wide
CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS kill switch. FileReadTool also stops
rejecting a file_path given to its own constructor: that is
developer-declared intent, and declaring one file does not expose its
siblings.

Also fixed:

- FileReadTool scanned the whole file when reading a line window; it now
  stops via islice once the requested lines are collected.
- FileWriterTool._run(**kwargs) made the documented positional call
  signature raise TypeError and turned a missing overwrite into
  "error accessing key". It now takes named parameters in the documented
  (filename, content, directory) order.
- A directory naming an existing file reported "already exists and
  overwrite option was not passed" even with overwrite=True; it now
  explains the real problem.
- Subdirectories inside filename are created, matching what passing
  directory already did.
- Both tools now write and decode UTF-8 by default instead of the
  platform locale encoding, with an encoding field to override. The docs
  already claimed UTF-8 and recommended the writer to Windows users.
- The writer's schema fields had no descriptions for the LLM.
- Docs claimed FileReadTool parses JSON into a dict (it never has),
  shipped a snippet that raised TypeError, and did not mention the path
  sandbox. The writer README also began with a stray "Here's the
  rewritten README" preamble.

BREAKING CHANGE: FileWriterTool no longer writes outside the working
directory. Pass base_dir to authorize a different tree.

* chore: update tool specifications

* fix(tools): make the declared FileReadTool file reachable by agents

Addresses review feedback on #6692.

The constructor-path exemption did not actually work the way an agent
calls the tool. The description only advertises a redacted label (the
basename, when the file sits outside the sandbox), but resolution
required the exact absolute path, so the model's call was sandboxed and
the declared file was never read. Worse, file_path was a required schema
field, so the long-documented "call with no arguments to read the default
file" raised a validation error instead:

    FileReadTool(file_path="/outside/declared.txt")
    .run()                          -> ValueError: validation failed
    .run(file_path="declared.txt")  -> Error: File not found
    .run(file_path="/outside/declared.txt") -> works, but the model was
                                               never told this path

file_path is now optional in the schema, so omitting it reads the default,
and the declared file is addressable by the label the description shows
the model as well as by its real path. Declaring one file still does not
expose its siblings.

The declared path is also pinned to its real path at construction, so a
later chdir cannot silently repoint it at a different file — previously a
relative constructor path re-resolved against the new working directory
on every call.

Also guards the writer's filepath resolution, which could raise
ValueError out of _run for a filename containing a null byte, breaking
the contract of always returning a descriptive string. The directory and
read paths were already guarded.

Adds docstrings to strtobool and both _run methods, corrects an Arabic
tanween spelling and a kaf-as-descriptor calque in the localized read
docs, and regenerates tool.specs.json for the schema change.

* fix(tools): anchor the declared read path to base_dir, not the cwd

Addresses the second round of review feedback on #6692.

The previous commit pinned a relative constructor file_path with
os.path.realpath, which anchors to the working directory, while both
format_path_for_display and validate_file_path anchor a relative path to
base_dir. With the two roots disagreeing, the same relative string meant
two different files — and the tool served the cwd one under a label that
looks like it belongs to the sandbox:

    FileReadTool(file_path="data.txt", base_dir="/allowed")   # cwd=/work
    label advertised to the model -> "data.txt"
    run(file_path="data.txt")     -> contents of /work/data.txt

That reads a file from outside base_dir, so it was a sandbox escape
introduced by the exemption itself, not just a wrong-file bug.

Resolution now goes through a single _resolve_against_base helper that
anchors relative paths exactly the way the sandbox does, so the pinned
path, the advertised label and the containment check all agree. Covered
by test_relative_declared_path_anchors_to_base_dir.

Also softens "always readable" to "always allowed past the containment
check" in the docstring, README and docs, since bypassing containment
does not guarantee the read succeeds — it can still fail on a missing
file, a directory, or permissions.

* fix(tools): tell the LLM about the path sandbox in tool descriptions

Addresses the low-confidence notes from the Copilot review on #6692.

Both tools' descriptions were pre-sandbox wording, so the model learned
about containment only by attempting a path and reading the error back.
Both now state that access is confined to the tool's allowed directory
and that a path resolving outside it is rejected.

The wording deliberately says "the tool's allowed directory" rather than
"the working directory", because the root is base_dir when one is set,
and naming the absolute root would leak it into the prompt — the same
reason paths are redacted in errors.

Not changed: the notes also suggested advertising `encoding`. That is a
constructor-only field the model cannot set, so describing it to the LLM
would be misleading.

Also fixes a test docstring that contradicted its own assertion — the
public run() path does raise on schema validation failure, which is what
the test asserts.

* fix(tools): anchor base_dir at construction so the sandbox cannot move

Addresses the third review round on #6692.

Both remaining findings came from the same habit: storing an unanchored
string and re-resolving it later.

A relative base_dir was kept verbatim and re-resolved against getcwd() on
every call, while the declared file was pinned once at construction. After
a chdir the sandbox root moved but the declared default did not, so one
tool applied two different roots. base_dir is now resolved once — in the
reader's __init__, and via a field_validator on the writer so it also
applies on the model_validate path.

That also covers the serialization concern. model_dump drops the private
pin, and __init__ re-runs on restore, so a relative file_path was
re-anchored against whatever the working directory happened to be at load
time. With base_dir anchored, restore rebuilds the identical pin.

The residual case is a relative file_path with no base_dir, where the
sandbox root is the working directory too — so both move together and the
tool stays self-consistent. Covered by
test_declared_path_survives_a_serialization_round_trip and
test_relative_base_dir_is_anchored_at_construction on both tools.

Also corrects the writer's 'directory' description, README and docs: the
default resolves inside the tool's allowed directory, which is base_dir
when one is set, not always the working directory.

868416bfe0 fix: add SSRF and path traversal protections (#5315)
* fix: add SSRF and path traversal protections

CVE-2026-2286: validate_url blocks non-http/https schemes, private
IPs, loopback, link-local, reserved addresses. Applied to 11 web tools.

CVE-2026-2285: validate_path confines file access to the working
directory. Applied to 7 file and directory tools.

* fix: drop unused assignment from validate_url call

* fix: DNS rebinding protection and allow_private flag

Rewrite validated URLs to use the resolved IP, preventing DNS rebinding
between validation and request time. SDK-based tools use pin_ip=False
since they manage their own HTTP clients. Add allow_private flag for
deployments that need internal network access.

* fix: unify security utilities and restore RAG chokepoint validation

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: move validation to security/ package + address review comments

- Move safe_path.py to crewai_tools/security/; add safe_url.py re-export
- Keep utilities/safe_path.py as a backwards-compat shim
- Update all 21 import sites to use crewai_tools.security.safe_path
- files_compressor_tool: validate output_path (user-controlled)
- serper_scrape_website_tool: call validate_url() before building payload
- brightdata_unlocker: validate_url() already called without assignment (no-op fix)

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* refactor: move validation to security/ package, keep utilities/ as compat shim

- security/safe_path.py is the canonical location for all validation
- utilities/safe_path.py re-exports for backward compatibility
- All tool imports already point to security.safe_path
- All review comments already addressed in prior commits

* fix: move validation outside try/except blocks, use correct directory validator

9325e2f6a4 fix: add path and URL validation to RAG tools (#5310)
* fix: add path and URL validation to RAG tools

Add validation utilities to prevent unauthorized file reads and SSRF
when RAG tools accept LLM-controlled paths/URLs at runtime.

Changes:
- New crewai_tools.utilities.safe_path module with validate_file_path(),
  validate_directory_path(), and validate_url()
- File paths validated against base directory (defaults to cwd).
  Resolves symlinks and ../ traversal. Rejects escape attempts.
- URLs validated: file:// blocked entirely. HTTP/HTTPS resolves DNS
  and blocks private/reserved IPs (10.x, 172.16-31.x, 192.168.x,
  127.x, 169.254.x, 0.0.0.0, ::1, fc00::/7).
- Validation applied in RagTool.add() — catches all RAG search tools
  (JSON, CSV, PDF, TXT, DOCX, MDX, Directory, etc.)
- Removed file:// scheme support from DataTypes.from_content()
- CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS=true env var for backward compat
- 27 tests covering traversal, symlinks, private IPs, cloud metadata,
  IPv6, escape hatch, and valid paths/URLs

* fix: validate path/URL keyword args in RagTool.add()

The original patch validated positional *args but left all keyword
arguments (path=, file_path=, directory_path=, url=, website=,
github_url=, youtube_url=) unvalidated, providing a trivial bypass
for both path-traversal and SSRF checks.

Applies validate_file_path() to path/file_path/directory_path kwargs
and validate_url() to url/website/github_url/youtube_url kwargs before
they reach the adapter. Adds a regression-test file covering all eight
kwarg vectors plus the two existing positional-arg checks.

* fix: address CodeQL and review comments on RAG path/URL validation

- Replace insecure tempfile.mktemp() with inline symlink target in test
- Remove unused 'target' variable and unused tempfile import
- Narrow broad except Exception: pass to only catch urlparse errors;
  validate_url ValueError now propagates instead of being silently swallowed
- Fix ruff B904 (raise-without-from-inside-except) in safe_path.py
- Fix ruff B007 (unused loop variable 'family') in safe_path.py
- Use validate_directory_path in DirectorySearchTool.add() so the
  public utility is exercised in production code

* style: fix ruff format + remaining lint issues

* fix: resolve mypy type errors in RAG path/URL validation

- Cast sockaddr[0] to str() to satisfy mypy (socket.getaddrinfo returns
  sockaddr where [0] is str but typed as str | int)
- Remove now-unnecessary `type: ignore[assignment]` and
  `type: ignore[literal-required]` comments in rag_tool.py

* test: allow tmp paths in RAG data-type tests via CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS

TemporaryDirectory creates files under /tmp/ which is outside CWD and is
correctly blocked by the new path validation.  These tests exercise
data-type handling, not security, so add an autouse fixture that sets
CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS=true for the whole file.  Path/URL
security is covered by test_rag_tool_path_validation.py.

* test: allow tmp paths in search-tool and rag_tool tests via CREWAI_TOOLS_ALLOW_UNSAFE_PATHS

test_search_tools.py has tests for TXTSearchTool, CSVSearchTool,
MDXSearchTool, JSONSearchTool, and DirectorySearchTool that create
files under /tmp/ via tempfile, which is outside CWD and correctly
blocked by the new path validation.  rag_tool_test.py has one test
that calls tool.add() with a TemporaryDirectory path.

Add the same autouse allow_tmp_paths fixture used in
test_rag_tool_add_data_type.py.  Security is covered separately by
test_rag_tool_path_validation.py.

* chore: update tool specifications

* docs: document CodeInterpreterTool removal and RAG path/URL validation

Co-Authored-By: Claude Sonnet 4.6 <noreply@anthropic.com>

* fix: address three review comments on path/URL validation

- safe_path._is_private_or_reserved: after unwrapping IPv4-mapped IPv6
  to IPv4, only check against IPv4 networks to avoid TypeError when
  comparing an IPv4Address against IPv6Network objects.
- safe_path.validate_file_path: handle filesystem-root base_dir ('/')
  by not appending os.sep when the base already ends with a separator,
  preventing the '//'-prefix bug.
- rag_tool.add: path-detection heuristic now checks for both '/' and
  os.sep so forward-slash paths are caught on Windows as well as Unix.
