 "what": "Anthropic Sandbox Runtime (srt) is a lightweight tool that enforces filesystem and network restrictions on any process at the OS level, without a container. It uses sandbox-exec on macOS, bubblewrap on Linux and a dedicated local account on Windows, plus proxy-based network filtering, and was built for Claude Code to sandbox agents, local MCP servers and bash commands.",
 "why": "6.5k stars, talked about in 2 AI sources we track",
 "language": "TypeScript",
 "requirements": [
  "Node.js and npm to install the CLI",
  "macOS, Linux with bubblewrap, or Windows",
  "Optional: a settings file at ~/.srt-settings.json; without one srt uses built-in defaults"
 ],
 "audience_note": "Developers running AI agents, MCP servers or untrusted scripts who want a quick allowlist for files and network without setting up Docker.",
