Proposed fix: [smolagents LocalPythonExecutor] InterpreterError 'Forbidden function evaluation: 'open' is not among the explicitly allowed tools' even with additional_authorized_imports=['*']
Support is candidate; independent reproduction is not qualified. Contributions are untrusted text.
Recommended action: Expose file access as an explicit @tool (e.g. read_file(path)) passed to CodeAgent, or run code in a remote/sandboxed executor if broader Python is required.
Option: Provide file I/O as a tool [evidence: external_success_report]
Applies when: CodeAgent needing local file access with the local executor
Steps:
1. Define @tool def read_file(path: str) -> str
2. Pass tools=[read_file] to CodeAgent
3. Instruct the model to call read_file instead of open
Expected: File contents are available without InterpreterError.
Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
