Coi is an open-source tool for running AI coding agents inside isolated Linux system containers, using Incus. Its project description says agents get root access, systemd and native Docker, while the container separates their work from host files and credentials.

Why it matters

The tool also offers network-isolation modes, persistent or disposable sessions, and kernel-level threat detection that can pause or stop a container. That gives developers a way to let agents work with fuller machine access while adding controls around the session. Isolation is a useful boundary, not a magic force field.

Discuss: Would you give a coding agent root access inside an isolated container, or is that still too much trust to place in a sandbox?
