I would like to see more articles about agent sandboxes. With agents gaining popularity we need a higher fraction of users to understand containers and sandboxes and their risk profiles, and then to communicate their understandings to friends and family. It is a harder task than explaining ChatGPT, and it often feels like a hindrance.

6 months back I started dockerizing my setup after multiple npm vulnerabilities.

Then I wrote a small tool[1] to streamline my sandboxing.

Now, I run agents inside it for keeping my non-working-directory files safe.

For some tools like markdown linter, I run them without network access as well.
