Safety Testing Sandbox

Test AI agents safely in isolated environments before production deployment

Building Your Safety Sandbox

A proper safety sandbox requires isolation, monitoring, and control mechanisms. The goal is to create an environment where agents can operate with realistic constraints but can't affect production systems. This means mock services, test databases, network isolation, and comprehensive logging of all agent actions.

Interactive: Sandbox Configuration Builder

Configure your sandbox environment by enabling components and setting isolation levels:

Mock API Endpoints

Simulated external services

Test Database

Isolated data storage

Network Isolation

No production network access

Comprehensive Logging

Track all agent actions

Permission Boundaries

Restricted capabilities

10

Track agent actions in real-time

Ability to undo agent actions

Safety Score:0/100
Insufficient Safety

Essential Sandbox Components:

  • β€’Mock APIs: Simulate external services (databases, APIs, file systems) without real connections
  • β€’Network Isolation: Prevent agents from accessing production networks or unauthorized endpoints
  • β€’Permission Boundaries: Restrict what actions agents can take (e.g., no file deletion, no financial transactions)
  • β€’Comprehensive Logging: Record every action, decision, and API call for post-test analysis

Pro Tip: Docker for Sandboxing

Use Docker containers to create isolated sandbox environments. Each test run gets a fresh container with mock services, test data, and network isolation. After testing, destroy the containerβ€”no cleanup needed. Tools like Docker Compose make it easy to spin up complete test environments.
