WHAT IT DOES

What sandbox_admin does on EasyBits

AI agents invoke sandbox_admin to trigger actions in EasyBits. What it does depends on the arguments the agent supplies, and its effects often reach beyond the immediate call: builds kicked off, notifications sent, workflows started.

RISK

Why sandbox_admin is rated High

Admin-level passthrough to a persistent Linux microVM enables arbitrary privileged command execution.

RECOMMENDED RULE

The rule that runs sandbox_admin safely

PolicyLayer is an MCP gateway: it sits between your AI agents and EasyBits, and checks every tool call against a rule you set before the call runs. Nothing changes on the server itself. For sandbox_admin, this is the rule to start with:

sandbox_admin Rate-limited

sandbox_admin stays usable, but rate-capped: a runaway agent can't fire it dozens of times a minute. Everything else on the server is denied unless you say otherwise.

    }

}

The button opens the PolicyLayer dashboard: create your workspace, connect EasyBits, apply this rule, and every sandbox_admin call is checked against it from then on.
