Omnibox
Omnibox is Omnigent's secure OS-level sandbox. It wraps any agent (Claude Code, Codex, or a custom agent) so you can run it unattended, in YOLO mode, without handing it your real credentials, file system, or network.
The kernel enforces the rules, not the agent or its prompt: bubblewrap and seccomp on Linux, Seatbelt (sandbox-exec) on macOS. Every process the agent spawns inherits the boundary, so a prompt-injected or misbehaving agent can't opt out.
Omnibox combines three protections:
- Filesystem isolation
- Network isolation
- Credential injection
Filesystem isolation
The agent sees only the paths you grant; everything else doesn't exist from inside the sandbox. Even cwd is read-only until you opt directories back in, so a runaway agent can't read your SSH keys or write outside the workspace.
Broad read grants stay safe: granting ~ doesn't expose ~/.ssh or ~/.aws/credentials, because dotfiles are masked unless you allow them.
Network isolation
All HTTP(S) traffic goes through a default-deny proxy with an explicit allow-list of methods, hosts, and paths. Data can't leave except to hosts you chose, which shuts down exfiltration even if the agent is prompt-injected.
Private IPs and cloud metadata endpoints are blocked by default, so the agent can't reach your internal services.
Credential injection
The agent holds a fake placeholder token instead of the real secret. When a request matching your allow-list leaves the sandbox, the proxy swaps in the real credential. The agent can use a credential but never read it.
Only the placeholder appears in logs, transcripts, and model context. A leaked token is worthless, since it only works through the proxy, against allowed hosts.
