OpenClaw: Image Tool `tools.fs.workspaceOnly` Bypass via Sandbox Bridge Mounts
Summary
The image tool did not fully honor the tools.fs.workspaceOnly filesystem boundary. In affected releases, image-path resolution could still traverse sandbox bridge mounts outside the workspace and read files from mounted directories that the other file tools would reject.

Code-Level Confirmation
src/agents/openclaw-tools.tsnow passesfsPolicyintocreateImageTool, so the image tool receives the same workspace-only policy input as the other filesystem tools.src/agents/tools/image-tool.ts,src/agents/tools/media-tool-shared.ts, andsrc/agents/sandbox-media-paths.tsnow restrict local roots and sandbox-bridge resolution to the workspace whentools.fs.workspaceOnlyis enabled.
OpenClaw thanks @YLChen-007 for reporting.
