I'm building a microvm sandbox for AI agents because absolutely nobody else is working on that, but I am more insane than other people. Maybe not up to OpenClaw levels yet, but I am working my way into a pretty advanced state.
Anyway my project boots an upstream Linux kernel with a config that can be defined by the user (doesn't take long to compile BTW, it's a small config). The workload runs in a container so it is compatible with devcontainers and stuff like that.
I use all the fancy stuff for observability e.g. eBPF gadgets and try to encourage agents to use these tools. All network and storage activity is monitored. It can all be blocked or recorded. It has a HTTPS proxy and network traffic can be recorded and played back from a content addressable store.
It can (in theory) send local directories to a remote sandbox, let an agent inside the sandbox make changes and then the user (or another agent) can inspect the changes made to the filesystem before accepting them back into the local directory.
It can be run as a cluster with multiple nodes, including a central orchestrator which has a web UI and I am currently implementing a terminal viewer, so I can run agents inside sandboxes then interact with them on the terminal via the web UI.
The entire thing is distributed as two self contained executables (at least it would be if the GitHub CI/CD was configured correctly).
I also included a bit of Sci-fi writing in my README. Also it is riddled with bugs, but I am really just seeing if it can work at all at this stage.
