Container isolation is a good foundation, but one layer worth adding is network sandboxing. A filesystem-sandboxed agent can still exfiltrate data over the network if it gets prompt-injected — domain allowlists and egress filtering can reduce the risk significantly.

Another useful primitive is surrogate credentials: the agent never handles real API keys or tokens. A proxy swaps in real values only for scoped hosts on the way out. This keeps the access the agent has locked inside the container; surrogate credentials are not valid outside.

My Claude Code over email project demonstrates both of these: https://github.com/airutorg/airut
