| Fact | Anthropic Sandbox Runtime | Context Agent Sandboxes |
|---|---|---|
| Integrations | The README shows using srt to sandbox Model Context Protocol servers and documents a Java agent for JVM tools on macOS and Linux. | Context lists a catalog of 180+ integrations across data, documents, communication, CRM, ITSM, finance, and identity, plus remote MCP servers. |
| Maker | Anthropic describes itself as an AI safety and research company that builds reliable, interpretable, and steerable AI systems. | Context is made by Explore Interfaces Inc., a Delaware corporation with an office at 55 2nd Street, Suite 1925, San Francisco, California. |
| Network controls | Network access is denied by default and can be restricted with allowed and denied domain lists; HTTP, HTTPS, and other TCP traffic are mediated by proxies. | Administrators can choose open networking, a domain allowlist or workspace-only access, with outbound decisions logged. |
| Platforms | The project supports macOS and Linux, and lists Windows support as alpha. | The managed sandbox runs Debian Linux, and tasks can also use paired Mac, Windows, or Linux machines as their runtime. |
| Purpose | Anthropic Sandbox Runtime (srt) enforces filesystem and network restrictions on arbitrary processes at the OS level without requiring a container. | Each agent task runs in its own sandbox on the customer's cluster under the permissions of the person who requested it. |

Pick Anthropic Sandbox Runtime if…
Srt suits developers who want OS-level filesystem and network restrictions for processes, agents, or local MCP servers. It is a research preview, so it is less suited to users who need stable APIs and configuration formats.
Pick Context Agent Sandboxes if…
It suits teams that need agent tasks to run in isolated environments with configurable network access and recorded permission decisions. Enterprise deployment is aimed at customers running sandboxes on their own Kubernetes cluster.
