Agents can manage the sandbox programmatically via FastMCP:

{
  "mcpServers": {
    "sandbox": {
      "command": "bilrost-mcp"
    }
  }
}

9 tools: sandbox_status, sandbox_up, sandbox_down, sandbox_destroy, sandbox_exec, sandbox_validate, sandbox_ssh_info, sandbox_gateway_info, sandbox_agent_identity.

What It Does

• OverlayFS isolation — host code mounted read-only, all writes contained in VM overlay
• Network containment — UFW firewall with explicit allowlist (HTTPS, DNS, Tailscale, NTP only)
• Secrets management — three injection methods, 0600 perms, never in process lists
• Gated sync — gitleaks scanning + path allowlist before changes reach your host
• Docker sandboxing — per-session containers with configurable network isolation
• 12 Ansible roles — overlay, secrets, gateway, docker, firewall, sync-gate, gh-cli, buildlog, cadence, qortex, tailscale, and more

Requirements

• macOS (Apple Silicon or Intel)
• Homebrew
• ~10GB disk space

Dependencies (Lima, Ansible, etc.) are installed automatically on first run.
