From 2987e7f69cebb85ce52f13b89a0089f04443951e Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Devin AI <158243242+devin-ai-integration[bot]@users.noreply.github.com> Date: Wed, 3 Dec 2025 14:20:39 +0000 Subject: [PATCH 1/2] refactor: replace eval with ShadowRealm for safe expression evaluation Remove dangerous eval() usage in the manual tool execution example and replace it with ShadowRealm API for secure, isolated JavaScript execution. ShadowRealm provides a separate realm with its own global object, preventing access to the host environment's APIs (no DOM, no Node.js APIs, no fetch, etc.), making it safe for evaluating untrusted expressions. Includes documentation link to TC39 proposal for contextual education.
