Welcome to the Sandbox

· The Sandbawks Crew

Howdy, partner. If you’ve handed a coding task to an LLM agent lately, you already know the feeling: it’s a little bit magic and a little bit terrifying. The agent wants to install packages, run migrations, and rm -rf something it probably shouldn’t. Exciting! Also: not in production, please.

That tension is exactly why we built Sandbawks.

The problem with letting agents loose

Agents are most useful when they can do things — run code, execute tests, poke at a real environment. But “a real environment” usually means one of two bad options:

  • Your laptop or a shared box, where one bad command ruins everybody’s day.
  • A managed cloud sandbox, where your code and data take a field trip to someone else’s servers.

For teams handling anything sensitive, neither sits right.

A pen of their own

Sandbawks gives every agent an isolated Kubernetes pod to play in — a sandbox that lives entirely inside your cluster. Agents build, break, and test to their hearts’ content. When they’re done:

  1. Snapshot the good state.
  2. Restore it whenever you need a clean start.
  3. Run it again — reproducibly, as many times as you like.

Nothing crosses your network boundary. The control plane runs in your namespace, sandboxes are walled-off pods, and snapshots persist to storage you own.

Let your agents raise a little hell. Just do it behind a fence.

What’s next

We’re opening early access soon. If you want your agents to run wild safely, join the waitlist and we’ll holler when the pen’s ready. 🐓
