About this tag
Agent containment refers to the practice of running AI agents within secure, isolated runtimes on Windows to prevent unauthorized access to system resources. Microsoft's Build 2026 announcements highlighted agent containment as a key feature for developers building local AI models and agentic workloads. The approach ensures that agents can read files, call tools, and perform actions without compromising system security. This is part of a broader push to make Windows a trusted platform for developing and deploying AI agents, with improvements to WSL and AI-assisted terminals supporting secure agent execution.
