Could you build this?
Partial While basic agent loops are easy to prototype, creating a production-grade autonomous agent runtime with robust sandboxing, dynamic state machines, and resilient lifecycle execution requires non-trivial distributed systems engineering.
What it would actually take: Architecture requires a containerized execution sandbox (Docker/gVisor/Firecracker), an event-driven task scheduler (e.g., Temporal or custom orchestrator), and deterministic state serialization for error recovery. The hard part is managing safe tool execution, token-context compaction, and reliable failure recovery loops.
