Agents & knowledge
Sandbox
An isolated environment limiting what code or an agent can access.
Definition
A sandbox restricts filesystem, network, process or tool access so untrusted model-generated actions cannot freely affect production systems.
Why it matters
It reduces the blast radius of coding and tool-using agents, although isolation quality must be tested rather than assumed.
