Docker Sandbox

Run agents and commands in isolated VM environments using Docker Desktop's sandbox feature. Each sandbox gets its own lightweight VM with filesystem isolation, network proxy controls, and workspace mounting via virtiofs.

When to Use

• Exploring untrusted packages or skills before installing them system-wide
• Running arbitrary code from external sources safely
• Testing destructive operations without risking the host
• Isolating agent workloads that need network access controls
• Setting up reproducible environments for experiments

Requirements

• Docker Desktop 4.49+ with the docker sandbox plugin
• Verify: docker sandbox version
