Ehsan's Insight
Every production agent needs a sandbox for testing, and most do not have one. The consequences range from "oops, we sent a test email to 10,000 customers" to "oops, we deleted production data." A proper sandbox mirrors production with three key differences: external API calls are mocked, data is synthetic, and all actions are logged but not executed against real systems. Docker containers with pre-configured mock services are the fastest way to build a sandbox. One company built a full agent sandbox in 3 days using Docker Compose. That $5K investment prevented what would have been a $200K customer data incident during testing.
