Execution Containment Platform

A Secure Cage for
Autonomous AI Agents

Give agents room to act — and the OS the power to contain them. Policy-driven containment enforced at the kernel level, so the boundary lives beneath the agent.

Why Agents Stay
Stuck in Pilots

The same capability that makes an AI agent powerful — broad access to act — is precisely what makes security teams refuse production deployment.

  • Trusting an agent to behave is not a control — it's a wish
  • Application-layer guardrails can be subverted by a compromised agent
  • No visibility separating what a human did from what an agent did
  • Permanent broad rights create unbounded blast radius on compromise
No OS-Level Boundary
Guardrails live inside the application the agent can bypass. Enforcement must live beneath the agent — at the kernel.
Identity Blur
Audit logs conflate human and agent actions. Regulated industries need provable separation — not guesswork.
Unbounded Privilege
Standing broad access means a single compromise becomes an enterprise-wide incident with no natural stopping point.

Containment by Design,
Not by Hope

mxc.ms supplies the missing containment layer — putting enforcement, identity, and audit beneath every agent action at the OS level.

Declarative Boundaries

Specify exactly what an agent can and cannot access, up front, in a human-readable policy. No guesswork, no runtime surprises.

Kernel-Level Enforcement

Rules are enforced by the operating system itself — not by the application layer the agent could subvert if compromised.

Containment Spectrum

From lightweight process isolation up to full virtual machines — dial the isolation to match your risk profile, not one-size-fits-all.

No Standing Privilege

Scoped, temporary access instead of permanent broad rights. Each task gets exactly the access it needs — no more, no longer.

Identity & Accountability
Built In

Every agent action is attributable, auditable, and revocable — the foundation regulated industries require to deploy at all.

01

Attributable Actions

Every agent action is tied to a specific, verifiable identity. No ambiguity about what ran, when, and under whose authority.

02

Human vs. Agent Clarity

A clean audit trail that provably separates what a person did from what an agent did — essential for compliance and incident response.

03

Unified Policy Engine

The controls that already govern your endpoints extend seamlessly to your agents — no separate policy silo to manage.

04

Blast Radius Containment

A compromised agent is boxed in before damage spreads. Revoke, quarantine, or rollback in milliseconds — not hours.

05

Consistent Everywhere

The same containment controls span device, virtual machine, and cloud workloads — one model, any environment.

06

Always-On, Safely

Run continuous agents without leaving doors open. Persistent agents operate inside boundaries that never expire on their own.

Four Steps to
Production-Ready Agents

From policy declaration to instant revocation — the execution-container model made concrete.

01

Declare the Policy

Define exactly what the agent may access and do — filesystems, network endpoints, APIs, commands — in a declarative policy file. Human-readable, version-controlled, auditable.

policy.mxc.yaml
02

Enforce at the OS Level

The agent runs inside an execution container that enforces those limits at the operating system kernel — below the application layer the agent can reach. No cooperation required from the agent itself.

kernel enforcement
03

Bind Identity & Audit

Every action is bound to an identity and written to an immutable audit trail. Regulators get the attribution they require; your team gets the forensic clarity they need.

identity binding
04

Revoke Instantly

If the agent misbehaves or is compromised, containment holds. Revoke access in milliseconds — not after a lengthy incident response cycle.

instant revocation

Autonomy You Can
Actually Ship

Agents free to do useful work, inside boundaries they cannot cross even if compromised.

Run Third-Party Agents Safely

Untrusted or third-party agent code runs inside the same containment layer. You don't have to trust the vendor — you trust the boundary.

Compliance Without Compromise

Attributable, auditable, revocable — the three pillars regulated industries require. Deploy in finance, healthcare, defense, or any compliance-heavy environment.

Built for Real Workloads

Designed for the autonomous tasks enterprises actually want to run — not sanitized demos. File operations, API calls, code execution, system commands — all containable.

Where mxc.ms Fits

Deploying Agents in Security-Conscious Enterprises

Security teams can finally say yes. mxc.ms gives them the OS-level enforcement, identity accountability, and audit trail they need — and gives engineering teams the autonomy they want.

OS Enforcement Zero Trust Agents Policy-as-Code
$ mxc deploy --policy ./infosec.yaml agent-1
↳ Loading policy: infosec.yaml
↳ Resolving execution container...
✓ Container provisioned
✓ Identity bound: agent-1@corp.local
✓ Kernel policy loaded
↳ Agent running with 14 allowed syscalls
✓ Audit trail active

Running Untrusted or Third-Party Agent Code Safely

Don't audit the vendor — contain the execution. Third-party agents run inside the same containment boundary with the same OS-level enforcement. Trust the cage, not the code.

$ mxc sandbox --untrusted vendor-agent-v2

↳ Applying restrictive baseline policy

Compliance-Ready Agent Activity for Regulated Industries

Finance, healthcare, defense, critical infrastructure — mxc.ms delivers the attributable, auditable, revocable record that regulators require and that audit teams can actually rely on.

SOC 2 HIPAA Ready FedRAMP Aligned ISO 27001
$ mxc audit --agent finance-agent --range 30d

Moving Agents from Pilot to Production

The containment story is what security teams were waiting for. With mxc.ms, the conversation shifts from "can we?" to "when do we?" Graduates agents from interesting experiments to real enterprise infrastructure.

Common Questions

Application-layer guardrails live inside the process space the agent can reach and potentially subvert. mxc.ms enforces its boundaries at the operating system kernel — below the application layer. Even a compromised or malicious agent cannot circumvent OS-level enforcement without a kernel exploit, which is an entirely different threat model.
It means agents receive scoped, temporary access only for the specific task they are executing — no permanent broad rights that persist between invocations. Each execution begins with the minimum required access and those rights expire when the task completes, eliminating the attack surface that standing privilege creates.
Every agent action is bound to a specific agent identity at the OS level before it is written to the audit trail. This identity is distinct from human identities and cannot be spoofed by the agent itself. Audit records carry a provable label indicating whether the action was taken by a human or by a specific named agent — a distinction that is verifiable, not inferential.
mxc.ms applies the same containment controls across physical endpoints (Windows, Linux, macOS), virtual machines, Kubernetes workloads, and cloud environments. The policy model is consistent — you declare once and the enforcement layer handles the environment-specific implementation.
Yes — this is one of the primary use cases. Because enforcement is at the OS level and does not depend on agent cooperation, the agent's origin, trustworthiness, or internal behavior is irrelevant. The boundary holds regardless. You don't need to audit the vendor; you trust the containment layer.
Revocation is enforced at the OS level and takes effect in under a millisecond. The agent's execution container is terminated or its access rights removed immediately — no waiting for a session timeout, no relying on the agent to honor the revocation request. The containment holds even through the revocation process.

Run Agents
You Can Trust

Autonomy without containment is a liability no enterprise will accept. Make your agents trustworthy enough to ship — and treat them as infrastructure, not experiments.
