Sandboxing AI Tools: Containers, MicroVMs, and Permission Scopes for Agents

As AI agents gain the power to write and run their own code, browse the web, and touch real files, the urgent question becomes how to contain them. This book explains the isolation toolkit -- containers, lightweight microVMs, and fine-grained permission scopes -- that lets engineers give an autonomous agent just enough access to be useful and no more, without trusting it blindly.
