Decision Question
Compare sandbox providers by isolation strength, developer ergonomics, traceability, network/secret policy, and fit for code-running agents.
Criteria
- Isolation boundary: process, container, VM, or microVM
- Network, filesystem, and secret controls
- Startup latency and task throughput
- Artifact capture and replay
- Integration with review and approval gates
Tentative Recommendation
Tentative: choose the weakest sandbox that satisfies the task risk boundary, but require stronger isolation for untrusted code, external input, production credentials, or cross-tenant workloads.
Confidence
medium. No recommendation should be treated as final without a hands-on trial or source-backed comparison for the concrete use case.
Open Questions
- Which current project workflow is the evaluation being applied to?
- Which failure mode would make the recommendation wrong?
- Which source or trial result would change the score?
