Does sandboxing work with GUI applications?

Generally, no. Sandboxing is optimized for CLI operations, and GUI applications often require system resources that are restricted by standard sandbox profiles.

How do I enable the sandbox via the command line?

You can enable it by adding the -s flag to your command, such as 'gemini -s -p "command"', or by exporting the GEMINI_SANDBOX=true environment variable.

Can I restrict network access specifically on macOS?

Yes, by setting the SEATBELT_PROFILE environment variable to 'restrictive-closed' or 'permissive-closed', you can effectively block network traffic from the sandboxed process.

What sandbox methods does this skill support?

It supports Docker (full container), Podman (rootless container), and macOS Seatbelt (process-level sandbox) for various levels of system isolation.

What should I do if I get an 'Operation not permitted' error?

This is often the intended behavior of a sandbox. This skill helps you determine if you need a more permissive profile or if the operation should be handled outside the sandbox.
