 ## Plugin Isolation
 
 Plugins are just pipeline steps. They share the build workspace, mounted as a volume, and therefore have access to your source tree.
+While normal steps are all about arbitrary code execution, plugins should only allow the functions intended by the plugin author.
+
+So there are a few limitations, like the workspace base is always mounted at `/woodpecker`, but the working directory is dynamically adjusted acordingly. So as user of a plugin you should not have to care about this.
+
+Also instead of using environment variables the plugin should only care about one prefixed with `PLUGIN_` witch are the internaml representation of the **settings** ([read more](./20-creating-plugins.md)).
