The Take

This is a practical, engineer-first sandbox that feels built for LLM workflows: five runtimes (Python/Node/Bun/Deno/Bash), streaming SSE output, warm container pools for sub-100ms latency, and security defaults like read-only rootfs, seccomp, and resource caps. The embeddable TypeScript API plus an agent 'skill' and on-the-fly package installs make it easy to plug into agent pipelines. My nitpick: it still depends on Docker as the trust boundary — I'd like clearer hardened defaults, policy/audit primitives, and documentation about residual host risks before using it to run fully hostile code.

Post Description

hey, I was working on this one project which involved the llm agent to do some maths. I don't trust the direct mathing skills so I wanted it to create and execute scripts.

The issue is that I am skeptical of whether the scripts would be safe or not because of possible prompt injections. I understand we already have things like docker and VM to sort of containerize and isolate the environments but I wanted to create something that these agents would use directly. It should be efficient, spin up quickly and should be configurable.

So, I came up with isol8. Simple API, simple usage. I hope someone else finds it useful as well :P

Thanks!
