Claude CodeClaude / AnthropicCodex / OpenAICursor
Open-source policy-driven sandbox runtime for autonomous AI agents, announced at GTC 2026. Enforces security constraints at the kernel level via Landlock LSM (filesystem), seccomp BPF (syscalls), and an OPA/Rego-evaluated HTTP CONNECT proxy (network) — constraints are enforced on the environment itself, so even a compromised agent cannot override them. Supports Claude Code, Codex, Cursor, and Open

Claude CodeClaude / AnthropicopencodeCodex / OpenAILocal / Ollama
Multi-agent offensive-security meta-harness (July 2026) that turns the coding agent you already run — Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, or a fully offline Ollama/vLLM model — into an autonomous kill-chain hunter (recon → exploit → report) across web apps, CTFs, smart contracts, and source code. The key harness insight is keyless composition: your existing agent is the brain, and the harness bolts coor
