Autonomous software agents require deep system and file access to be effective, which heavily expands their potential blast radius. Relying purely on model alignment or user prompts is inadequate, making strict sandboxing indispensable.
Anthropic illustrates that as models become more capable, they also excel at finding unexpected paths around non-technical constraints. Because manual approval prompts reliably erode into rubber-stamping, protection must be enforced through hard OS-level perimeters, with strict isolation enforced even before workspace trust is granted.
