Sandbox

Also called: sandboxing, sandboxed, sand box, isolated environment, agent sandbox

A walled-off space where an agent can run commands and change files without reaching the rest of your computer, your accounts or the open internet. It limits the damage from a mistake or a prompt injection, which is what makes it reasonable to let an agent run without approving each step.

For example: A team runs its overnight agents in a sandbox that holds a copy of the code but none of the company's passwords.
