Partial A basic agent sandbox can be vibe-coded on top of containers or VMs with a UI and tool-call routing. Making it genuinely 'completely contained' requires serious security engineering that vibe coding won't reliably provide.
What it would actually take: Build on container or microVM isolation (such as Firecracker, gVisor, or Docker with seccomp and restricted networking), with a controlled tool bridge to the agent. The hard part is threat modeling and hardening the escape surface, which requires security engineering expertise and adversarial testing.
