NanoClaw, an open-source AI agent runtime focused on security, has partnered with Docker to run agents inside MicroVM-based Docker Sandboxes. Each sandbox runs in its own lightweight MicroVM with a private kernel and Docker engine, preventing agents from touching the host filesystem or daemon. This two-layer isolation model — per-agent containers inside a MicroVM — is designed to contain damage from compromised or misbehaving agents. The integration is positioned as an enterprise-ready, auditable alternative to OpenClaw, which is criticized for poor security. Developers can deploy NanoClaw agents into isolated sandboxes with a single command, with Docker Sandboxes currently available on macOS (Apple Silicon) and Windows.
