Agents & Automation

Sandbox (AI)

A controlled, isolated environment for testing AI agents safely before deployment.

Definition

A sandbox is an isolated environment where AI agents can be tested without risking real-world consequences. In a sandbox, an agent can be allowed to browse, execute code, send simulated messages, and take simulated actions — all in a contained environment where mistakes cause no harm. Sandboxing is an essential part of responsible agent development, allowing developers to evaluate agent behaviour thoroughly before granting access to production systems.
