Advanced Sandboxing

Comprehensive security controls with OS-level sandboxing and granular permission management.

Overview

Claudia provides enterprise-grade security through advanced sandboxing capabilities, offering OS-level protection, granular permission controls, and comprehensive violation tracking to ensure safe AI agent execution.

OS-Level Security

Platform-specific sandboxing provides deep system-level protection:

Linux Security (seccomp)

System Call Filtering: Control which system calls agents can make
Capability Restrictions: Limit privileged operations
Namespace Isolation: Separate process, network, and filesystem namespaces
Resource Limits: Control CPU, memory, and file descriptor usage

macOS Security (Seatbelt)

Sandbox Profiles: Use macOS's built-in sandboxing framework
File System Access Control: Precise control over file and directory access
Network Restrictions: Control network connections and protocols
Hardware Access Limits: Restrict access to cameras, microphones, and other hardware

Cross-Platform Features

Container-like Isolation: Isolated execution environments
Process Monitoring: Real-time tracking of agent processes
Resource Quotas: Prevent resource exhaustion attacks
Signal Handling: Controlled process termination and management

Permission Profiles

Create and manage reusable security configurations for different use cases:

Built-in Profiles

Minimal Access

Read-only filesystem access to current project
No network access
Basic system information only
Ideal for code analysis and review

Development Standard

Read/write access to project directories
Limited network access for package management
Access to development tools (git, npm, etc.)
Suitable for most development tasks

Web Development

Full project access
HTTP/HTTPS network access
Access to web development tools
Port binding for local servers

Data Analysis

Access to data directories
Python/R runtime environments
Limited network for data downloads
Database connection capabilities

Custom Profile Creation

Create tailored permission profiles:

profile_name: "Frontend Development"
filesystem:
  read_paths:
    - "/project/**"
    - "/usr/local/lib/node_modules/**"
  write_paths:
    - "/project/src/**"
    - "/project/public/**"
  forbidden_paths:
    - "/etc/**"
    - "/home/.ssh/**"
network:
  allowed_domains:
    - "npmjs.org"
    - "github.com"
  blocked_ports:
    - 22  # SSH
    - 3389  # RDP
commands:
  allowed:
    - "npm"
    - "git"
    - "node"
  forbidden:
    - "sudo"
    - "rm -rf"

Granular Access Controls

Fine-tune permissions with precise control over system resources:

File System Controls

Path-based Permissions: Control access to specific files and directories
Operation Restrictions: Separate read, write, execute, and delete permissions
Symbolic Link Handling: Control how symbolic links are resolved
Hidden File Access: Manage access to dotfiles and system files

Network Controls

Domain Whitelisting: Allow access only to approved domains
Port Restrictions: Control which ports can be accessed
Protocol Filtering: Restrict HTTP, HTTPS, FTP, SSH, etc.
Bandwidth Limiting: Control network usage rates

Command Execution Controls

Command Whitelisting: Allow only approved commands
Argument Filtering: Control command arguments and flags
Shell Restrictions: Limit shell access and scripting
Interpreter Controls: Manage Python, Node.js, and other runtime access

Violation Tracking

Monitor and log all security violations in real-time:

Real-time Monitoring

Live Violation Feed: See security violations as they occur
Severity Classification: Categorize violations by risk level
Automatic Response: Configure automatic actions for different violation types
Alert Notifications: Get notified of critical security events
