About

kosa8 is security infrastructure for enterprise internal AI agents. Every agent gets its own microVM with its own kernel, on your Macs, your Linux servers, your cloud, or fully air-gapped. The agent sees one folder, API keys stay on the host (the sandbox holds a placeholder), and the network is closed except the hosts you allow. Rewind the whole machine in about a second when an agent gets it wrong. Docker-compatible, MCP-native, hash-chained audit, signed releases.

AI Summary

kosa8 provides air-gapped microVM sandboxes for enterprise AI agents, ensuring security by isolating each agent with its own kernel and limited access to resources. It supports Docker compatibility and features rapid machine state rewind, hash-chained auditing, and signed releases.

A source that found nothing is a measurement. A source that has not run is a gap. Neither means the launch lacks the thing.
