When to enable sandbox mode

Enable sandbox mode when testing a server from an unknown repository, a server with destructive tools, or a server that requests broad filesystem access.

Sandbox mode is a guardrail, not a proof of safety. Review linter findings, inspect the manifest, and run sample calls against disposable data first.

  • macOS uses sandbox-exec profiles for declared paths.
  • Linux uses bubblewrap when available.
  • Remote SSE/HTTP servers cannot be sandboxed locally; restrict headers and use disposable keys.
  • Sandbox rejection errors include the denied path or capability when the platform exposes it.
# Sandbox controls are a desktop feature, not CLI flags.
# The published CLI can still scan source before execution:
agentstudio risk-scan ./server --format json --fail-on high
