The ACT (Agent Capability Toolkit) framework introduces a policy layer to sandbox third-party tools used by AI agents, preventing misuse and limiting potential harm. This system operates through three distinct layers: the WebAssembly (WASM) runtime for isolation, the WebAssembly System Interface (WASI) for defining capabilities, and ACT's policy layer which enforces the intersection of declared component capabilities and operator-defined runtime grants. Components must explicitly declare their required capabilities in a manifest, and operators then specify their allowed grants, with the system only permitting access that is present in both declarations.
