Strands Box: Open-source sandbox for AI agents

AWS released Strands Box, an open-source sandbox for artificial intelligence (AI) agents that combines operating-system isolation with rule-based decision logic to control agent actions. The tool runs on Macs with Apple silicon and plans Linux support, addressing security concerns when coding assistants read files, execute shell commands, and call external services.

Why it matters: Development teams deploying AI coding assistants need containment mechanisms to prevent unintended code execution and unauthorized application programming interface (API) calls, making this sandbox relevant for securing agent-based workflows.
