"With Docker Sandboxes, that boundary is now two layers deep. Each agent runs in its own container (can't see other agents' data), and all containers run inside a micro VM (can't touch your host machine). If a hallucination or a misbehaving agent can cause a security issue, the security model is broken. Security has to be enforced outside the agentic surface, not depend on the agent behaving correctly."
"Docker Sandboxes are a new primitive that has the ergonomics of Docker and what I describe as the ethos of Docker. But it's fundamentally a different primitive. It's actually a micro VM and it actually has true isolation with its own dedicated kernel and its own dedicated hardware space."
NanoClaw is an open source agent platform developed to address security vulnerabilities in OpenClaw, which allowed AI models to operate applications with minimal constraints. NanoClaw already provided container-based isolation, but now integrates with Docker Sandboxes for enhanced security. Docker Sandboxes function as micro VMs with dedicated kernels, offering stronger isolation than standard containers. This two-layer security model ensures each agent runs in isolated containers while all containers operate within a micro VM, preventing agents from accessing host systems or other agents' data. Security enforcement occurs outside the agent layer rather than depending on agent behavior. Docker Sandboxes are currently available on macOS and Windows, with Linux support coming soon.
