Sandbox Status Command

Inspect the native Claude Code sandbox state, active configuration, and security events.

Usage

/sandbox-status

What It Does

1. Check sandbox availability

   • Verify OS primitives installed (bubblewrap on Linux, Seatbelt on macOS)
   • Display platform support status

2. Show active configuration

   • Sandbox mode (Auto-allow vs Regular permissions)
   • Filesystem policies (allowed writes, denied reads)
   • Network policies (domain allowlist/denylist)
   • Excluded commands

3. List recent sandbox violations

   • Blocked filesystem access attempts
   • Blocked network connections
   • Escape hatch invocations (dangerouslyDisableSandbox)
