Don't Trust High Resolution Rates: Contain AI Agents in Docker Sandboxes

The author points out that many teams love to boast about their Agent's high resolution rates or flawless demos. However, real users often provide unpredictable inputs that can easily induce hallucinations and cause the model to execute dangerous actions, potentially breaking core systems.

Therefore, the core metric for evaluating an Agent shouldn't be how "smart" it is, but how safely you can "throw its mess away." The author strongly recommends running Agents in disposable Docker sandboxes. If things go rogue, the system simply kills the container. In engineering practice, safe containment is always more critical than model perfection.
