Capability-scoped sandbox execution

Capability-scoped execution restricts what an agent can do based on explicit, fine-grained permissions rather than coarse access controls.

Key properties:

  • Least privilege by default: Agents start with no permissions
  • Explicit grants: Each capability must be explicitly granted
  • Auditable boundaries: Every permission grant is logged
  • Revocable: Capabilities can be withdrawn at any time

This model mirrors capability-based security systems but applied to agent execution contexts. An agent cannot access a file, network endpoint, or API unless that specific capability has been granted to its execution context.
