Sandboxing
A security mechanism that restricts program execution to an isolated environment, widely applied in browsers, code execution services, and cloud functions. Through container isolation, virtual machines, or operating-system-level constraints, sandboxing prevents processes from accessing sensitive resources on the host system, thereby limiting the potential impact of malicious or faulty code.

Modern AI Agents typically run in sandboxed environments, which in theory should have strict restrictions on the file systems they can access and the execution permissions they hold.
Sandboxing addresses the problem of process escape, but cannot prevent a model from being induced to perform inappropriate operations within the permissions allowed by the sandbox.
Claude's built-in browser can autonomously perform webpage navigation, form filling, element scraping, and dynamic data parsing within an isolated sandboxed browser.
