More actions
Run AI agents in a sandbox that restricts what they can execute, read, write, and reach on the network. Box combines OS isolation with default-deny Dogwood policies and credential injection that keeps secrets outside the agent. Written in Rust. Supports macOS on Apple silicon, with Linux support planned.

About the project
An open-source sandbox for AI agents that combines OS isolation with default-deny Dogwood policies, restricting what agents can execute, read, write, and reach on the network. Written in Rust, currently for macOS on Apple silicon.
Useful for
- Run a coding agent so it cannot read files or reach hosts outside its policy
- Inject API credentials into permitted HTTP requests without exposing secrets to the agent
- Deny a network request based on an earlier file read recorded in the shared event history

Stars per day
Bars show daily stars; the line is a moving average of the available history. Short histories do not yet establish a reliable usual pace. Red marks spike days.
Why it’s trending

Star trust
Growth looks organic: forks and discussion are in line with active projects, and stars arrive unevenly, the way people give them.
These are heuristics, not a verdict: we judge by the repository’s behavior, not by a list of stargazers.
