developer.nvidia.com by Alex Watson 9 min read Editor score 8/10

OpenShell combines sandboxing, credential management and outbound-request checks, with kernel-level filesystem and process controls; its policy prover checks modeled permissions against defined boundaries. It gives teams a concrete runtime approach to limiting agent access without rewriting the agent.
