Permissions

◆Sandbox requiredRuns a third-party MCP server process on your machine that AgentNode hasn't vouched for at host level — it runs isolated in a container, or not at all.

Declared by the publisher. Checked before execution by the policy gate.

Networknone
Filesystemnone
Code Executionnone
Data Accessinput_only
User Approvalonce

Permissions are policy-checked before execution. For trusted and curated packages that run on the host, network and filesystem access are policy-checked but not OS-sandboxed. When runtime isolation is required for untrusted/community code, AgentNode uses sandbox-or-fail-closed if the required container runtime and pinned image are available. Learn more

Privacy

All tool execution happens locally on your machine. AgentNode never receives:

  • • Tool inputs or outputs
  • • Execution logs
  • • Data your agent processes

Only install events and search queries are sent to the registry.

bash
agentnode install mcp-brave-search
