Cursor Agent 6ee0cacd7c [SECURITY] Fix sandbox escape vulnerability in CodeInterpreterTool (F-001)
This commit addresses a critical security vulnerability where the CodeInterpreterTool
could be exploited via sandbox escape attacks when Docker was unavailable.

Changes:
- Remove insecure fallback to restricted sandbox in run_code_safety()
- Now fails closed with RuntimeError when Docker is unavailable
- Mark run_code_in_restricted_sandbox() as deprecated and insecure
- Add clear security warnings to SandboxPython class documentation
- Update tests to reflect secure-by-default behavior
- Add test demonstrating the sandbox escape vulnerability
- Update README with security requirements and best practices

The previous implementation would fall back to a Python-based 'restricted sandbox'
when Docker was unavailable. However, this sandbox could be easily bypassed using
Python object introspection to recover the original __import__ function, allowing
arbitrary module access and command execution on the host.

The fix enforces Docker as a requirement for safe code execution. Users who cannot
use Docker must explicitly enable unsafe_mode=True, acknowledging the security risks.

Security Impact:
- Prevents RCE via sandbox escape when Docker is unavailable
- Enforces fail-closed security model
- Maintains backward compatibility via unsafe_mode flag
