Data-centric isolation

Spice provisions temporary, scoped datasets tailored to each model or agent. Access is short-lived, governed by policy, and auditable across the runtime, ensuring AI agents never touch production data directly.

Governed runtime access

Governed runtime access

All AI interactions run inside a governed runtime. Policies, roles, and encryption are enforced automatically, and every action is logged for compliance and traceability.

Secure by default

By deploying Spice alongside your agents, sensitive tables remain behind your firewall while apps interact only with safe, pre-materialized datasets. The result is a smaller attack surface and sub-second access to frequently queried data.

FAQs

Answers to common questions about secure AI sandboxing in Spice

What is an AI sandbox in Spice?

An AI sandbox in Spice is a temporary, scoped dataset provisioned for a specific model or agent. Access is short-lived, governed by policy, and auditable across the runtime, so AI agents never touch production data directly.

How does sandboxing protect production databases from AI agents?

Spice deploys alongside your agents, so sensitive tables remain behind your firewall while applications interact only with safe, pre-materialized datasets. This reduces the attack surface, and agents that access data through tools can be governed with the MCP server gateway, which routes tools to models with fine-grained access controls.

Are AI interactions with data logged and auditable?

Yes. All AI interactions run inside a governed runtime where policies, roles, and encryption are enforced automatically, and every action is logged for compliance and traceability. Each query, embedding, or completion call executes with only the minimum data required.

How fast is data access from a sandbox?

Sandboxed applications interact with pre-materialized datasets, which provide sub-second access to frequently queried data. Serving LLM inference in Spice from the same runtime keeps models close to the data they are permitted to use.
