Security & Privacy

Sandbox

An isolated environment where code or actions can run with limited access to the rest of a system.

Example

Generated code runs in a restricted environment without access to the host computer.

Why it matters

It allows experimentation while reducing effects on other files, accounts or services.

You'll hear it

“Try it in the isolated test area first.”

Can you control it?

Set by the team

The people building or running the AI choose this setup. An everyday user generally needs their help to change how this part works.

Common questions

Does sandboxed mean completely risk-free?
No. The isolation can have limits or weaknesses, and allowed connections can still have consequences.
Can a sandbox contact outside services?
Some can. Network access depends on its configuration.
Does finishing in a sandbox automatically publish the result?
No. Moving results into ordinary use is a separate step.
