AI / OpenClaw Interview Questions
What is Sandbox Mode in OpenClaw?
Sandbox Mode controls whether OpenClaw isolates its execution environment, such as through Docker containers, or runs with direct access to the host system.
- Disabled by default, meaning out of the box, an OpenClaw agent runs with the same permissions as the user account it's launched under
- Can be enabled to provide OS-level filesystem isolation via Docker
- Operators can also choose to sandbox only specific risky tools, like browser automation, rather than the entire agent
Because sandboxing is opt-in rather than the default, security guidance consistently frames enabling it as one of the first things to configure before giving an agent broad tool access.
