dsh-docker
Your agent can manage containers now: seven tools covering containers, images, logs, inspection, in-container exec, lifecycle management, and health checks.
DSH (DeepSeek Harness) container-management plugin: runs the docker CLI through the official subprocess service with shell-free argv arrays, approval gates on docker_exec and destructive lifecycle actions, and zero runtime dependencies.
Compatibility
Verified against the official @deepseek-ai/dsh@0.1.3-alpha.2 on 2026-09-08, including an 18-component co-load and the full tool registration/invocation contract. Built for the cordis patch-bundle model (cordis.patch.yml + dsh.bundle.patch) with no runtime imports of @deepseek-ai/* internals.
Installation
dsh plugin --profile web add @stardustlc/dsh-docker
Requires Docker installed locally (docker version should work); use dockerPath when it is not on PATH.
Uninstall
dsh plugin --profile web remove @stardustlc/dsh-docker
Then restart the web service. To clean up fully, also remove the plugin entry from your profile cordis.patch.yml if you overrode it.
Configuration
- id: docker
name: '@stardustlc/dsh-docker'
config:
# dockerPath: C:\Program Files\Docker\Docker\resources\bin\docker.exe
dockerPath: docker # optional; or use the DSH_DOCKER_PATH env var
timeoutMs: 60000 # per-operation timeout (default 60s, 5s - 10min)
# execApproval: false # disable the docker_exec approval gate (default true)
# manageApproval: false # disable approval for stop/restart/rm (default true; not recommended)
Tools
| Tool | Purpose | Safety |
|---|---|---|
docker_ps | List containers (status/image/state, filterable) | — |
docker_images | List local images (repository/tag/size/created, dangling-only filter) | — |
docker_logs | Tail container logs (line clamp, short follow) | — |
docker_inspect | Container details (image/state/ports) | — |
docker_exec | Run a command inside a container | Approval gate + container-name validation |
docker_manage | start / stop / restart / rm | Approval gate for stop/restart/rm |
docker_health | Check Docker daemon and safety settings | — |
Examples
docker_ps {}
docker_ps { all: true, name: web }
docker_images { dangling: true }
docker_logs { container: web, tail: 200 }
docker_inspect { container: web }
docker_exec { container: web, command: 'df -h' }
docker_manage { container: web, action: restart }
Safety
- No shell: every argument is its own argv element — command injection is impossible
- Approval gates: docker_exec and docker_manage stop/restart/rm ask first; headless environments without an approval channel are denied
- Container-name validation: only
[A-Za-z0-9][A-Za-z0-9_.:-]*accepted — no argument injection - Timeout clamps: 5s - 10min per operation; follow mode capped at an extra 30s
- Log clamping: tail 1-2000 lines
