Why it belongs in the agent-first stack

Modal is a broader compute platform whose Sandboxes product gives agents programmable execution environments. Agents can run commands and work with files without sharing the main application process.

An example in practice

A coding agent starts a sandbox with its required dependencies, runs a generated script, inspects the output, and ends the environment when finished.

Illustrative workflow. Permissions and approval steps depend on how the product is integrated.
