Permissions

Sandbox optionalFrom a trusted publisher — runs on the host by default. You can require isolation with sandbox.host_trust_policy.

Declared by the publisher. Checked before execution by the policy gate.

Networkunrestricted
Filesystemnone
Code Executionnone
Data Accessinput_only
User Approvalnever

Permissions are policy-checked before execution. For trusted and curated packages that run on the host, network and filesystem access are policy-checked but not OS-sandboxed. When runtime isolation is required for untrusted/community code, AgentNode uses sandbox-or-fail-closed if the required container runtime and pinned image are available. Learn more

Privacy

All tool execution happens locally on your machine. AgentNode never receives:

  • • Tool inputs or outputs
  • • Execution logs
  • • Data your agent processes

Only install events and search queries are sent to the registry.
