Permission and capability contracts .agents/skills/*, docs/docs/architecture/sandbox-internals.md, docs/docs/advanced/sandbox.md, ak-py/README.md, ak-py/src/agentkernel/skills/ak-add-capabilities/*, README.md |
Documentation describes language and package-ecosystem policy checks, provider capability declarations, permission-denial errors, and conditional availability of install_packages. |
Provider installation and timeouts .agents/skills/ak-dev-new-sandbox-provider/SKILL.md, docs/docs/advanced/sandbox.md, docs/docs/architecture/sandbox-internals.md, ak-py/tests/test_sandbox_packages.py, examples/sandbox/{docker,e2b,daytona}/* |
Provider guidance describes installer and package-rule configuration, ecosystem checks, effective install timeouts, and process cleanup. Package tests add invalid-entry and archive-suffix rejection cases. |
Permission and sandbox behavior tests ak-py/tests/test_sandbox_egress_live.py, ak-py/tests/test_sandbox_permissions.py, .agents/skills/ak-dev-testing-conventions/SKILL.md, ak-py/src/agentkernel/skills/ak-add-capabilities/evals/evals.json, examples/sandbox/policy/* |
Tests and examples cover permitted and denied operations, install timeout behavior, egress allowlists, and package installation. Live E2B and Daytona tests require the environment gate and provider credentials; a fake provider runs the egress contract locally. |
Deployment guidance and product documentation ak-deployment/ak-k8s/README.md, docs/docs/deployment/onprem-kubernetes.md, docs/docs/advanced/sandbox.md, docs/specs/692-sandbox-extended-permissions/*, docs/docs/intro.md, docs/docs/examples/overview.md, docs/src/components/*, docs/src/pages/features.tsx, examples/sandbox/*/README.md, .agents/skills/ak-dev-architecture/SKILL.md |
Deployment notes describe queue timing and worker-first upgrade order. Product and example documentation describes the conditional package-install tool, provider installer settings, and stated provider egress limitations. |

Merge Risk: 
a8940
-
The documentation and tests are consistent with the sandbox behavior, with no remaining merge-blocking risk identified.
Security architecture risk: 
a8940
-
This primarily documents existing permissions and adds an opt-in example. No new permission bypass was established, but safe deployment still depends on upgrade ordering and provider-specific network controls that were not validated here.
Retained concerns
No architecture-level concerns identified.Security review details
-
Security Blast Radius
- inferred — The new demonstration's installation authority affects its explicitly selected, per-session Docker sandbox. It does not grant installation permission to the guarded profile or change production deployment controls. This is an intentional example capability, not an established cross-tenant or host privilege expansion.
Trust Boundaries and Controls
- observed — The permission guard evaluates the request's operation, payload, and policy; identity context supplies denial-audit fields rather than the permission decision. Package ecosystem permission is checked separately from provider capability. These controls are unchanged by this PR.
Resilience and Maintainability Implications
- observed — The documented lifecycle retains existing limits rather than promising transactional installation or universal cleanup: per-runtime installs mutate shared state, queue execution is at least once, and Docker/Kubernetes timeout cleanup is best-effort and excludes attached targets. No changed runtime path was found that worsens these limits.

Explanation
The title follows Conventional Commits (docs(sandbox): ...) and names the main change: documenting per-profile package-install permissions. It also mentions adding tests, which the changeset includes. It is specific and concise.
Full details: Description check
-
Explanation
The description follows the template closely. It includes a clear Description, Type of Change (Documentation update and Test update checked), Related Issues (Relates to
#692), Changes Made grouped by area, Testing, Checklist, and Additional Notes with run instructions. Some template items are unchecked, such as integration tests, manual testing, and self-review, and the Screenshots section is omitted. These gaps are non-critical, and the author explains why the integration tests are not reported as complete.

Explanation
Docstring coverage is 14.71% which is insufficient. The required threshold is 80.00%. Docstring coverage is scoped to functions touched by this diff. Analyzed 34 functions across 7 files. (7 skipped: 7 unsupported.)

Write docstrings for the functions missing them to satisfy the coverage threshold.

63-84: 🎯 Functional Correctness | 🔵 Trivial | ⚡ Quick winAssert the sandbox operation, not only the model response.
Test.expect(["DENIED"])checks only the final CLI text. It does not check thatrun_codeorinstall_packageswas called. A text-onlyDENIEDresponse can therefore satisfy both tests without exercising either permission guard. Tests 1–4 do not cover these two denied operations. Add a deterministic tool-call trace or direct operation-level assertions for both profiles.🤖 Prompt for AI Agents

- Line 268: Update the termination-grace sizing instruction near “effective
timeout” to account for BrokerWorkerCore’s additional 10-second backstop after
the effective timeout, plus a shutdown margin, so the worker has time to record
a timeout before termination.
Review comments at @ak-py/src/agentkernel/skills/ak-add-capabilities/SKILL.md:
- Around line 1384-1388: Update the install-enabled Docker example’s
network_egress setting to allow registry access, or document the required
in-image package source if egress must remain denied; keep the example’s
package_install configuration unchanged.
Review comments at @docs/docs/advanced/sandbox.md:
- Around line 275-277: Update the hardening recipe to remove the network-mirror
recommendation when network_egress is deny, since the sandbox has no network
access. Recommend baking packages into the image or making an offline repository
available inside the sandbox before execution; reserve mirrors for policies that
permit access.

…ized cases Unified several test cases into parameterized form to reduce redundancy and improve clarity. Expanded tests to cover sandbox policy failures, network egress allowlist behavior, and package installer validation. Introduced new test suites for live egress scenarios and verified fake implementations for consistent behavior.
Enhanced support for `install_packages` with detailed profile-based permissions and policy-driven configurations. Introduced `SandboxPermissionGuard` and extended capabilities across providers. Updated documentation, examples, and test coverage to reflect new functionality, including ecosystem validation and timeout handling.
