What Hacker News says

10 sources
I use Leash [1] [2] for sandboxing my agents (to great effect!). I've been very happy with it, it provides strict policy-level control for all process-level + network-level activity, as well as full visibility and dynamic runtime controls via WebUI. Way better than bubblewrap imo. I originally saw it here on HN and have been hooked ever since. [1] Screenshot: https://camo.githubusercontent.com/99b9e199ffb820c27c4e977f2... [2] https://github.com/strongdm/leash Fun fact: Do you know what container / sandboxing system is in most widespread use? Not docker containers, certainly not bubblewrap, and not even full VMs or firecracker. It's Chrome tabs.
In Sandboxing AI Agents in Linux
This is a really neat project . At my company (StrongDM) we recently open-sourced a tool in this space called Leash: https://github.com/strongdm/leash By default it runs in docker, and also includes an extra sophisticated macOS-native --darwin mode which goes beyond the capabilities and guarantees of the likes of sandbox-exe, bubblewrap, and in some ways docker. Leash provides visibility into and control over every command and network request attempted by the coder agent. Would appreciate any feedback, and will try to get in touch with the author (Gordon). Now I'll definitely look into automatically supporting pass-through auth for at least gh cli in Leash - always looking for what folks will find useful.
