The First Thing I Set Up Before Any AI Coding Agent

To secure machines before deploying AI coding agents, users should map the agent workspace to a dedicated drive letter. This OS-level sandbox prevents agents from executing rm -rf on home folders, refactoring critical config files, or accessing SSH keys. Local folders can be mapped via subst.scsoi.com, while WebDAV/cloud access uses drive.scsoi.com. This method offers a zero-overhead alternative to Docker, ensuring agents remain confined to their own drive without accessing the C: drive.
