AWS takes aim at runaway AI agent behavior with Strands Box
AWS released Strands Box, an open-source macOS sandbox that enforces behavioral policies on AI agents.
Amazon Web Services released Strands Box, an Apache 2.0 sandbox, in developer preview on October 7 to limit autonomous AI agent actions. It pairs operating-system isolation with Dogwood, an AWS policy language, and checks activity routed through its shell, Python interpreter, and MCP broker. A network gateway can approve outbound requests and attach credentials without showing secrets to the agent. It currently runs only on Apple silicon Macs with macOS 15 or later; ports to Amazon Bedrock AgentCore, ECS, and Kubernetes have no published timeline.
