Key Points

  • The post asks whether multi-agent systems must rely on isolated, sandboxed environments or whether a trusted setup could safely allow agents to operate on the same filesystem without interfering with each other.
  • It frames the discussion around current platform practices that typically isolate agent execution for safety and control.
  • It invites views on the feasibility of coordination mechanisms that prevent “toe stepping” when agents share storage.
  • The conversation is posed as a community discussion rather than reporting a specific new product or event.

What are ur views on this topic. Isolated, sandboxed etc. Most platforms run with isolated. Do u think its the only way or can a trusted system work. multi agents in the same filesystem togethet with no toe stepping?
