Anyone serious about security will want to bring their own sandbox anyway, not trust these, often proprietary, agents. I've never run an agent outside a sandbox. My first bubblewrap script for `claude` is now over a year old. The tools are available and if you learn to use them you can run any program in a sandbox.

But, in any case, why put in effort doing something people don't expect or ask for? We can assume everyone running agents is either a) using their own sandbox, or b) doesn't care. I think we can guess which category most people fall into. You could maybe argue about responsibility, but I don't think you can argue about "serious engineering".

Exactly. It's not as though it's difficult. It never occurred to me to not do this from day one, and it astonishes me that anyone runs this stuff bare metal. Since then, I've brought several other people on board, and that's all they've ever seen: I don't think they'd know how to run outside a sandbox, and that's just fine.
