Anthropic explains how process sandboxes, VMs, filesystem boundaries, and egress controls limit what Claude agents can access. Claude.ai uses gVisor; local Claude Code uses Seatbelt on macOS and Bubblewrap on Linux; Cowork runs in a full VM. Simon Willison highlights the documentation quality, notes a previously missed file-exfiltration path, and plans to revisit Anthropic's open-source srt tool.
Simon Willison revisited pydantic-monty, a sandboxed subset of Python implemented in Rust. He asked Claude Code to inspect the most recent release, following his earlier exploration a few months ago. The key finding is that limits for execution duration, memory, allocations, and recursion depth all appear to behave as advertised.
