<p>The <strong>File System</strong> component provides sandboxed filesystem access for agents.
It includes five file I/O tools for agents:</p>
<ul>
<li class=""><code>read_file</code></li>
<li class=""><code>write_file</code></li>
<li class=""><code>edit_file</code></li>
<li class=""><code>glob_search</code></li>
<li class=""><code>grep_search</code></li>
</ul>
<p>All operations are scoped to a base directory designated by the <a class="" href="/environment-variables"><code>LANGFLOW_FS_TOOL_BASE_DIR</code></a> environment variable. The default location is <code>~/.langflow/fs_tool/fs_sandbox</code>.
To use a different directory, set the location in <code>LANGFLOW_FS_TOOL_BASE_DIR</code> in your <code>.env</code> file.</p>
<p>If <a class="" href="/api-keys-and-authentication#langflow-auto-login"><code>LANGFLOW_AUTO_LOGIN</code></a> is set to <code>true</code>, all agents share a single workspace at <code>LANGFLOW_FS_TOOL_BASE_DIR/shared/</code>.
If <code>LANGFLOW_AUTO_LOGIN</code> is set to <code>false</code>, each authenticated user gets a private workspace at <code>LANGFLOW_FS_TOOL_BASE_DIR/users/HASH/</code>, where <code>HASH</code> is an opaque HMAC-derived identifier. Anonymous requests are refused.
<code>LANGFLOW_AUTO_LOGIN</code> defaults to <code>true</code>, so shared mode is the default.</p>
<p>Tool errors are not raised as an unhandled exception.
Tool errors are returned to the agent as structured JSON:</p>

<ol>
<li class="">
<p>Connect the <strong>File System</strong> component to an <strong>Agent</strong> component&#x27;s <strong>Tools</strong> input.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>In the <strong>File System</strong> component, enable <strong>Tool Mode</strong> to expose <code>read_file</code>, <code>write_file</code>, <code>edit_file</code>, <code>glob_search</code>, and <code>grep_search</code> to the agent.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Optionally, set a <strong>Workspace Sub-path</strong> to scope the agent to a specific sub-folder inside the sandbox.
The sub-folder is created automatically on first use.
Leave the field empty to give the agent access to the full sandbox root.</p>
<p>For example, in the <strong>Workspace Sub-path</strong> field, enter <code>projects/my-application</code> to scope all file operations to <code>LANGFLOW_FS_TOOL_BASE_DIR/shared/projects/my-application/</code>.</p>
<p>If <code>LANGFLOW_AUTO_LOGIN</code> is set to <code>false</code>, the scoped sub-folder for the agent is at <code>LANGFLOW_FS_TOOL_BASE_DIR/users/$HASH/projects/my-application</code>.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>Optionally, select <strong>Read Only</strong> to disable <code>write_file</code> and <code>edit_file</code> operations.</p>
</li>
<li class="">
<p>In the <strong>Playground</strong>, send a message to test the connection. For example, <code>List all files in my workspace</code>.</p>
<p>The agent calls <code>glob_search</code> with <code>**/*</code> and returns the contents of the sandbox directory.</p>

<p>When running Langflow in Docker, you must mount the sandbox directory as a persistent volume.
This ensures that the pepper file used to derive per-user namespace hashes survives container restarts.</p>
