Could you build this?
Yes Running a coding agent inside an isolated Docker container or existing microVM API (like Modal or E2B) is a well-understood wrapper pattern easily built with LLM assistance.

3 comments analyzed.
Competitors mentioned: smolvm (for cross-platform sandboxing), various coding agents (Claude, pi, codex, opencode)
Concerns raised: macOS sandboxing implementation (sandbox-exec complexity), permission pop-ups and inadequate sandboxing in existing agents, lack of macOS support
Feature requests: macOS/Windows support, native sandboxing without permission prompts

Same idea, different domain
Nobody's really built a agent / copilot tool for Agriculture yet.
