AI sandbox

Fact

A safe, locked space where AI can test actions without touching real systems.

In Plain Words

An AI sandbox is a playpen for a robot toddler. It can mash buttons, but not your real laptop.

Agents use it to test tools, run code, or open web pages. The real system and private files stay behind the fence.
