SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill includes references (resource) components.

What problem does it solve?

This Skill helps users create minimal and effective macOS Seatbelt sandbox configurations, enhancing application security by restricting unnecessary permissions.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Generate Allowlist Profiles: Creates *.sb files for macOS Seatbelt.
  • Guided Profiling: Provides a methodology for identifying application requirements across file, network, process, and IPC operations.
  • Use Case: You need to run a third-party command-line tool but want to limit its access to only the files and network resources it absolutely requires for security. This Skill will help you generate a safe sandbox profile for it.

Quick Start

Use the seatbelt-sandboxer skill to generate a basic sandbox profile for a command-line application.

Frequently Asked Questions about seatbelt-sandboxer

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I create a minimal macOS Seatbelt sandbox profile for an application?▼

To create a minimal macOS Seatbelt sandbox profile, define an allowlist that restricts file, network, process, and IPC operations. This generates a focused `.sb` file limiting the application to only necessary permissions.

What is the best way to sandbox a command-line tool on macOS?▼

Sandboxing a command-line tool on macOS is best achieved by generating an allowlist-based Seatbelt profile. This isolates the application by explicitly defining required resources and blocking all other system access.

Can I restrict network and file access for macOS applications using allowlist profiles?▼

Yes, you can restrict network and file access for macOS applications using allowlist profiles. These Seatbelt configurations explicitly permit required file and network operations while denying all other unauthorized access.

How does the seatbelt-sandboxer assist with iterative testing of sandbox profiles?▼

The seatbelt-sandboxer assists with iterative testing by providing syntax references for Seatbelt profiles and guiding the identification of application requirements across file, network, process, and IPC operations.

What are the limitations of using allowlist-based sandboxing for macOS apps?▼

A limitation of allowlist-based sandboxing for macOS apps is the need to accurately identify all required file, network, process, and IPC operations. Missing dependencies in the Seatbelt profile can cause application failures.
