You built https://github.com/FootprintAI/Containarium for this purpose?

TBH, this looks like an LLM-assisted response.

+1. It is confusing.

And how are you going to define what ocaps/flows are needed when agent behavior is not defined?
ATechGuy

Interesting. I'd appreciate an example. Thanks!

Would love to see performance numbers with nested virtualization, particularly that of IO-bound workloads.

> a website can expose functions like searchProducts(query, filters) or orderPrints(copies, page_size) with full parameter schemas

How would this not create backend load and abuse?

That's a good start I'd say, but I agree with you that detection is not trivial. I wonder if there's enough value in distinguishing between AI agents (with full browser) and humans. What use cases would it enable?
ATechGuy

Yes, but how can you tell if it was an agent with full browser?

Thanks for your insights!

QQ: does uxwizz also show AI agents visiting websites? have you seen traffic from AI agents?

I agree. However, how to define these permissions when agent behavior is undefined?
ATechGuy

I understand the concern. However, you can customize the profile (e.g., allowlist) to only allow network access to required domains. Also, looks like your sandboxing solution is Docker based, which uses VMs on a Mac machine, but will not use VMs on a Linux machine (weak security).

That's right. But they (E2B) rely on the underneath Cloud infra to achieve high scalability. Personally, I'm still not sure about the value they add on top of Cloud hosted VMs. GCP/AWS already offer huge discounts to startups, which should be enough for VM-based sandboxing of agents in the MVP phase.

To the commenters here: thanks for correcting me! So AWS is losing AI sandboxing market to GCP due to high cold start times of EC2...very interesting!

You can customize curr_dir_access_profile.sb to block access to network/fs/etc. Why is this not enough?

Curious to know what made you DIY this?

These are all wrappers around VMs. You could DIY these easily by using EC2/serverless/GCP SDKs.
