Federal AI-agent sandbox guidance turns safety testing into security operations
Voluntary federal guidance is pushing agent testing toward containment, monitoring, and independent assurance before deployment.
- Treat agent testing as a security operations exercise when tools, networks, browsers, or external systems are in scope.
- Build evidence before deployment: containment, monitoring, shutdown authority, and independent testing are becoming procurement expectations.
- Do not confuse voluntary guidance with irrelevance. Customers and auditors often adopt it before lawmakers do.
