AI agents should probably stop borrowing the same machine we use for everything else.
microsandbox is building a local-first microVM runtime for agent and tool code. The docs frame it around untrusted workloads: AI agents, generated code, package installs, scrapers, build jobs, plugins, and automation. Each sandbox gets its own Linux kernel, filesystem, and network boundary. The host controls mounts, resources, secrets, network policy, and lifecycle.
The interesting part is the agent path. microsandbox documents Agent Skills for coding assistants and an MCP server so compatible clients can create sandboxes, run commands, read/write files, and manage lifecycle through structured tool calls.
That feels like the next real permission boundary. Not just "approve this tool," but "run the tool somewhere disposable, with no ambient access to my laptop, repo secrets, or private network." If agents are going to execute code and install packages, I want the blast radius to be something I can inspect and delete.

Anyone using microVM-style sandboxes for coding agents yet? Curious what feels practical: per-task sandboxes, per-agent machines, or only high-risk commands?
