Agent Sandboxing

Isolate execution with quotas, allowlists, and strong runtime boundaries.

●●●●○ Complexity

Sandboxing isolates what an agent can do when it runs code or interacts with tools.

Common Controls

  • Egress allowlists
  • Time, CPU, memory quotas
  • Filesystem isolation
  • MicroVMs (e.g., Firecracker), container sandboxing, WASI

Trade-off

There is a real trilemma between strong isolation, performance, and operational simplicity.
