Isolate AI agent execution by configuring sandboxed environments with process, container, or microVM boundaries. You prevent harm by enforcing least-privilege controls, restricting filesystem access, and applying resource limits before running any generated code.

The best way to sandbox untrusted code in multi-tenant platforms is configuring a microVM with strict resource limits and an allowlisted network. This isolation level prevents prompt-injected or AI-generated code from causing damage across tenants.

Least-privilege enforcement for container security works by dropping Linux capabilities, running as non-root, and scoping filesystem mounts to read-only. These restrictions limit what an agent can touch, reducing the blast radius of malicious operations.

You need network segmentation and seccomp profiles to restrict agent filesystem and network access effectively. Applying network allowlists and syscall auditing blocks unauthorized outbound connections and limits dangerous system calls during execution.

You can validate commands before execution to block dangerous operations in a sandbox. Applying blocklists helps validate instructions and prevent obviously risky operations, reducing risk before the agent code ever runs.

Use process-level isolation instead of a container or microVM for agent security when working with trusted internal tooling. Choose container or VM-level isolation when executing untrusted code or operating multi-tenant services requiring stricter trust boundaries.
