Security Report

4.2
Use Caution4.2High Risk

SandBase Harness is a well-structured AI agent runtime with generally sound security practices. Authentication is implemented appropriately with optional API key support, and sensitive credentials are handled with encryption for secrets. However, there are moderate concerns around secret redaction consistency, potential unencrypted credential storage in certain flows, and insufficient input validation in some areas. The server's broad permissions (shell_exec, file_read/write, network_http, process_spawn) are justified by its purpose as a sandboxed execution environment, but users should be aware of the infrastructure trust model required. Supply chain analysis found 14 known vulnerabilities in dependencies (0 critical, 3 high severity).

AI-readable project metadata: llms.txt · installation guide

A local-first runtime for AI agents. Sessions, sandboxed tools, memory, credentials, audit trails, and a built-in Console — all running on your machine or in your own infrastructure.

Building with DeepSeek Harness? The independent DeepSeek Harness Handbook provides source-backed runtime guides, multilingual troubleshooting, and a regularly updated Agent-first resource map.

SandBase Harness architecture

Looking for a lightweight bridge instead of a full runtime? SandBase CLI connects 25 AI client targets to 2,000+ models and APIs through a local stdio MCP bridge. If it fits your workflow, star SandBase CLI so other agent users can discover it.

Need hosted model and media APIs instead? SandBase provides one interface for LLM, image, and video generation APIs, with the API quickstart covering keys and first calls.

git clone --branch v0.3.8 --depth 1 https://github.com/sandbaseai/sandbase-harness.git
cd sandbase-harness
npm ci
npm run build
mkdir ../my-agents && cd ../my-agents
node ../sandbase-harness/dist/index.js init
node ../sandbase-harness/dist/index.js start
# open http://127.0.0.1:3000/dashboard

Choose SandBase Harness when you need more than a model loop:

NeedWhat Harness provides
