Monty is an experimental, security-focused Python interpreter implemented in Rust and intended for running AI-generated Python safely under strict constraints. The project’s core goal is to enable code execution in environments where untrusted or model-produced code must be tightly sandboxed to reduce risk. Rather than offering a full “general-purpose Python runtime with everything enabled,” Monty is designed to be minimal and controlled, making it easier to reason about what code can do and what it cannot. It prioritizes guardrails like resource limits and restricted capabilities, which is especially useful for agentic workflows that need to execute small pieces of Python for data transforms, validation, or tool-like computations. Because it’s written in Rust, it’s positioned to deliver a compact, portable runtime that can be embedded into larger systems that need dependable isolation.
