Docker Sandboxes

MicroVM-Based Isolation for Coding Agents

- Each agent runs inside a dedicated microVM
- Only your project workspace is mounted into the sandbox
- Hypervisor-based isolation significantly reduces host risk
- Agents can install system packages, run services, and modify files
- Workflows run unattended, without constant permission approvals
- Coding agents can build and run Docker containers inside the MicroVM
- They have no access to the host Docker daemon
- If an agent goes off the rails, delete the sandbox and spin up a fresh one in seconds
