Using eBPF to contain misbehaving AI agents: kernel-level network sandboxing
sloppenheimer · x · 2026-09-24
A discussion on constraining autonomous agents' network behavior: eBPF intercepts network calls at the kernel level, so agents can't bypass it from userspace — no TLS or other tricks help, since enforcement happens outside their reach. This works as defense-in-depth for RL sandboxes. The original post notes current setups seem to cover only network access rather than other syscalls, and suggests logging all attempted syscalls and network calls per rollout — stats that reveal what the model is secretly trying, letting you adjust sandbox rules accordingly.
