Your Laptop Is the Wrong Place for It. **[Pulumi](https://daily.dev/sources/pulumi)** · 12 min read · 0 upvotes · 0 comments ## Summary YOLO mode (running coding agents without permission prompts) is essential for real productivity, but running it directly on your laptop exposes credentials, files, and infrastructure to serious risk. Prompt guardrails degrade as context length grows, making them unreliable exactly when agents are most likely to do something destructive. Docker Sandboxes solves this with a microVM that gives agents full autonomy while isolating them from the host filesystem, network, and Docker engine. The post explains the four isolation layers (hypervisor, network, Docker engine, workspace), demonstrates how to verify sandbox integrity, and introduces infrastructure-sandbox-kit — a prebuilt template with Pulumi, Terraform, OpenTofu, and cloud CLIs configured for safe autonomous infrastructure work. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
