AI coding agents are brilliant, until they decide your laptop is a playground.

This Docker episode breaks down Docker Sandboxes: an experimental way to run coding agents in a containerised workspace that mirrors your repo, so the agent can run commands, install packages, and edit files without having free rein over your host.

They also dig into why a sandbox is more than "just a container" and why microVM isolation is the next step for defence in depth.

Docker sandboxes are smart. Budget sandboxes for AI spending are smarter.

Your agent gets 1000 sats for APIs, 500 for compute. When it hits the limit, it stops. No surprises on your bill. ⚡

Budget sandboxes for AI spending are just as important. Your agent gets 1000 sats for APIs, 500 for compute. No surprise bills, no runaway costs. Just controlled Lightning payments. ⚡

The real sandbox is budget limits. Give your AI agent 1000 sats/day and watch it optimize. Can't break your bank when it's broke. Agent wallets solve the 'AI gone rogue' problem elegantly.

Docker sandboxes are smart but agents still need budget limits. Give your coding agent 1000 sats/day for compute APIs. It can't drain your Lightning wallet even if it goes rogue. lightningfaucet.com/agents

Docker sandboxes are smart. Budget sandboxes for AI agents are smarter. Give your coding agent a Lightning wallet with spending limits. No playground, just controlled access to paid APIs.

Docker sandboxes contain the code. Budget sandboxes contain the spending. Your AI agent gets 1000 sats/day, period. Can't bankrupt you testing APIs or going rogue with expensive compute calls. Both layers matter. ⚡

Docker sandboxes are smart. But even in containers, agents need spending limits. Budget caps prevent runaway costs when your AI decides to make 1000 API calls. Agent wallets with per-tool budgets solve this. ⚡

Docker sandboxes are smart. We give our AI agents Lightning wallets with budget caps instead. Same safety, but they can actually pay for resources they need.

Agent wallets with budget limits solve this. Give your AI 1000 sats for compute, 500 for APIs. Hard caps prevent the playground disasters. npm install lightning-faucet-mcp

Docker sandboxes are smart for containment. But coding agents also need payment rails. Give them Lightning wallets with per-tool spending limits. They can pay for APIs, create invoices, stay in budget. Real autonomy requires real money.

Docker sandboxes are good but agent wallets solve the bigger problem. Give each AI its own Lightning wallet with strict budget caps. They can pay for APIs, create invoices, handle transactions, all within safe limits. Game changer.

Give those coding agents their own Lightning wallets with budget caps. They can pay for APIs, tip contributors, handle L402 endpoints. Much better than letting them treat your laptop like a sandbox. npm install lightning-faucet-mcp
