Built on top of the Agent Substrate sandboxed execution runtime, AX introduces four primitives - Task, Workspace, Gateway, and Model - to isolate untrusted agent code, pre-wire Git repos and MCP servers, restrict outbound network traffic, and configure LLM providers via Kubernetes secrets. The CLI mirrors kubectl commands (apply, get, describe, watch, ssh, suspend, resume) and integrates with kubectx for multi-cluster workflows. The project is explicitly marked as early-stage with expected breaking changes before a stable release. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
