ai-jail is a Rust CLI that runs AI coding agents inside an OS-level sandbox using bubblewrap with Landlock, seccomp, and resource limits on Linux, and sandbox-exec on macOS. It provides secure defaults such as a private tmpfs home, opt-in agent credentials, and capabilities like network and GPU disabled by default.
Use cases
- run claude code in a sandbox
- sandbox AI coding agents safely
- isolate AI agent filesystem access
- prevent AI agents from accessing my home directory
- run untrusted AI agent commands with restricted network
- sandbox agent credentials on macos and linux
When to choose
- you run AI coding agents like Claude and want OS-level isolation without a VM
- you want secure defaults like private tmpfs home and opt-in credentials
- you work on Linux or macOS and want a lightweight sandbox layer
When to avoid
- you need to run fully hostile code - use a disposable VM instead
- you are on Windows without WSL2
- you need guaranteed 100% security - the tool itself states it is not fully secure
