This article introduces the Docker Sandboxes Kit Specification v3, which formalizes how to package AI agent constraints—such as network rules, credentials, and volumes—into portable OCI images for secure microVM execution. By treating containment configurations as standard artifacts rather than ephemeral shell history, the spec addresses the critical challenge of managing probabilistic agents that dynamically probe system boundaries. This development is significant for the AI safety community as it provides a reproducible method to enforce strict isolation limits on autonomous software agents before deployment.

From Dockerfile to Kit: the Docker Sandboxes Kit Specification

Docker Blog7 min read

Docker's Sandbox Kit Specification v3 packages an AI agent's network rules, credentials, and volumes as an ordinary, pinnable OCI image.

Agents need containment, and a sandbox is only half of it. Something still has to say which agent runs there, what it gets, and what it may touch. That is a Kit: an ordinary OCI image, so the answer travels with the agent and means the same thing on any conforming runtime. Today we published the Docker Sandbox Kit Specification v3, open source under Apache 2.0 at docker/sandbox-kit-spec. Here is why I wrote it. I run a lot of agents. They write code, run tests, install dependencies, call APIs, and work on infrastructure while I do something else. None of it happens without access, so I grant it one piece at a time: a bind mount, a token with broader scope than the task needs, a firewall rule that was quicker to open than to narrow. Each grant is reasonable on its own. Together they take back…
