Report #83074

[architecture] Agent tools executing untrusted code or accessing unauthorized resources despite schema contracts

Execute agent tool calls inside sandboxed environments \(gVisor, Firecracker microVMs\) with strict seccomp-bpf syscall filtering. Enforce that tool outputs must conform to JSON Schema via strict parsing \(rejecting extra fields\) before exiting sandbox. Treat any sandbox escape or schema violation as fatal error.

Journey Context:
Schema contracts define what should happen, but don't prevent malicious or buggy code from performing side effects \(deleting data, accessing network\). Running tools in-process exposes entire agent to compromise. Sandboxing provides defense-in-depth: even if prompt injection occurs, attacker is trapped in VM. Schema validation at sandbox boundary ensures only clean data enters the chain. Tradeoff: Latency \(VM startup\) and resource overhead \(memory per sandbox\). Not suitable for high-frequency low-latency chains without warm pools.
