Hazmat: Open-source containment for AI agents
Hazmat is an open-source tool that isolates AI coding agents in a separate user account to prevent unauthorized access to sensitive files on a developer's machine. By containerizing agents like Claude Code, Codex, and Cursor Agent, it blocks exposure of SSH keys, cloud credentials, and configuration data that would otherwise be readable to an agent running under the user's own privileges.
Why it matters: Developers using AI coding agents should evaluate Hazmat to reduce the blast radius if an agent behaves maliciously or is compromised, protecting stored credentials and SSH keys from exposure.

Hazmat: Open-source containment for AI agents
Hazmat is an open-source tool that isolates artificial intelligence (AI) coding agents in a separate account on the user's machine to prevent them from accessing sensitive files. It supports multiple AI coding frameworks, including Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, and Cursor Agent, as well as custom scripts. Running agents in this isolated environment blocks access to SSH keys, cloud credentials, and configuration files that would normally be readable to the logged-in user.
Why it matters: Security practitioners and developers using AI coding agents should evaluate Hazmat to reduce the blast radius of agent compromise or drift, protecting local credentials and configuration from unintended exfiltration or misuse.
