Sandboxes and guardrails for agents
Open alternatives4
E2B lets developers run code written by AI in isolated, disposable sandboxes in the cloud, so it cannot touch other systems. It is aimed at programmers and teams building AI tools.
Has 1 of 6 · Windows, Mac and Linux app ✗
How many people bookmarked its code on GitHub. It shows how popular it is, not how good it is or how well it replaces the app.
How hard it is to start using it. Easy: install it like a normal app, or use it in your browser. Advanced: you run it on your own server, use the command line, or it is a tool for developers.
Its code changed within the last year, so someone is still looking after it.
Does part of the job.
Ordered by how fully it replaces the app, Verified, setup and, when there are enough, people's votes.
Microsandbox runs untrusted programs, such as AI agents, user code and automation tasks, inside small virtual machines on your own computer so they cannot harm the rest of the system. It is aimed at developers who build agents or tools that need to run code safely.

Container Use runs AI coding assistants inside separate containers, so each agent works in its own isolated copy of a project and its changes stay on their own git branch. It is aimed at software developers who use AI coding agents.

Sandbox Runtime (srt) is a command-line tool that limits which files and websites a program can reach, by applying restrictions built into the operating system. It is for developers who want to run AI agents, local tool servers, or other programs with less access to their computer.
