1000%. I'm experimenting with running my agent (Claude Code) inside a docker container, so I can have a control plane and then YOLO within that limited access. The agent could still mangle my local dev setup, but I consider that an acceptable risk since everything the agent has access to is under version control outside the local machine.
This is a new pattern for me, I'm curious what others are doing.
https://smolmachines.com has "smolvm" microvms with better performance and ergonomics and security than docker, you might want to give it a try. (No affiliation, I just like what they're doing.)
