| Fact | Context Agent Sandboxes | microsandbox |
|---|---|---|
| Credential handling | Standing secrets are kept out of the sandbox; credentials are issued at the edge after authorization and expire with the action or run. | Bound secrets are represented by placeholders inside the sandbox and substituted host-side for supported intercepted requests to approved destinations. |
| Isolation | Sandboxes run as non-root container pods with capabilities dropped, a seccomp profile, and no cluster service-account token. | Each sandbox is a microVM with its own Linux kernel, filesystem, and network boundary, rather than a container sharing the host kernel. |
| Network controls | Administrators can choose open networking, a domain allowlist or workspace-only access, with outbound decisions logged. | By default, sandboxes can reach the public internet while private, host-local, link-local, and metadata destinations are blocked; egress can be allowlisted or disabled. |
