Docker Sandbox Kit Spec: Packaging AI Agent Permissions as OCI Images
Docker just made agent permissions portable. What an AI agent can access—packaged and versioned like the agent itself.
Why it matters
Docker's Sandbox Kit Specification, now submitted to CNCF, standardizes how AI agent access control is packaged and deployed. For enterprise teams running agents at scale, this closes a critical gap: the ability to version, audit, and port agent permission boundaries as reliably as container images themselves.
The key facts
