ai-jail tries to keep the AI actions limited to protect your data and system. It cannot guarantee full security but helps reduce risks compared to running AI agents directly.
You control what the AI can do inside the sandbox. Avoid running unknown or suspicious AI agents, as they may still cause harm.
