Plimsoll: Advanced Sandbox Service Enhances Code Isolation with Multi-Tier Security and Replayable Simulations
  • Plimsoll is a sandbox service that runs untrusted, agent-authored code and reports the actual isolation boundary used for each run, offering four tiers from weakest to strongest: process, container, kernel, VM.

  • Live demonstrations include a cart-pole controller run, with fingerprints showing consistency across runs; live run reports and replayable simulations are accessible on the examples pages.

  • Documentation outlines isolation tiers, capability grants, run results, sessions, seccomp and gVisor configurations, and deployment workflows, with pre-1.0 status notes and open CI/audit workflows.

  • The ecosystem provides extensive links to documentation, examples, and integration guides, forming a comprehensive, self-contained platform for running, auditing, and reproducing sandboxed agent code.

  • The system records run fingerprints as SHA-256 hashes of request and response, and a separate plimsoll-attest tool signs and verifies results; runs can be replayed for verification.

  • Plimsoll supports multiple providers—WebAssembly QuickJS in wazero process tier, Docker with runsc kernel tier, and Firecracker microVMs in VM tier—and can operate without network access in certain configurations.

  • An agent framework can integrate with Plimsoll via tools such as Trigger.dev, Vercel AI SDK, Google ADK, Agno/CrewAI, Mastra, and others, enabling code execution in sandboxed environments without exposing credentials.

  • Requests can specify a minimum isolation floor; if the sandbox cannot meet it, the run is refused and no code executes (ErrInsufficientIsolation).
