  "works": "Ran the OpenHands CLI 1.16.0 (SDK and tools 1.21.0, Python 3.12) non-interactively with --headless --override-with-envs --task, offline against a local stand-in OpenAI-compatible model with a dummy key, on a throwaway git repo, with no account, Docker or cloud login. The agent created a file and ran it, edited it with a string replace and reran it, and tool results sent to the model included stdout, the exit code and the working folder. One conversation was continued twice with --resume, and each turn carried all earlier turns and tool results. Malformed tool-call JSON and an unknown tool name produced clear errors that were fed back to the model, and a plain-text reply ended the run cleanly. A missing key gives a clear error with exit 1, and --headless without a task gives a usage error with exit 2. --json emits one JSON object per event line. No listening socket was opened during a run, and the key did not appear in console output.",
  "breaks": "The exit code is 0 even when the run fails: after the model returned HTTP 500 the CLI retried 15 times over about 130 seconds, saved the conversation with an error status, printed no final error, showed the whole system prompt as the agent's last message and exited 0. A command that exited 3 followed by the model claiming all tests passed was also accepted with exit 0. With --json, most stdout lines were human text mixed in with the JSON lines, and the event shape differs from the documented example. Headless mode always auto-approves, and the file editor wrote files outside the working folder (absolute and ../ paths) without refusing. Offline, every headless run tries four times to clone the public skills repo and logs each failure as a multi-line error, and the model library tries to download its price map. Conversation folders are created world-readable (755), and in one run --resume --last picked the most recently created conversation, not the most recently continued one.",

  "security_flags": [
   "Prescreen caution, not malware. Headless mode always auto-approves and runs tools as the local user with no workspace confinement; the lab saw file writes outside the working folder without refusal. Run it only in a container, VM or sandbox, as the vendor and public prompt-injection write-ups advise, and use a scoped, low-value model key. CLI 1.16.0 pins openhands-sdk 1.21.0, below 1.52.0, which fixes CVE-2026-112346 (confirmed on NVD: an unauthenticated agent server in Docker/Apptainer workspaces); this wasn't observed in local headless mode, which opened no listening sockets. Transitive dependencies such as litellm aren't upper-bounded; current constraints exclude the compromised litellm releases from March 2026 (OpenHands issue #13573). Conversation folders are created world-readable."
