The Simple Fix for AI Agent File Deletion Anxiety v44

Running AI agents on your main machine? You need to sandbox them.

The problem

AI agents are powerful. They can write code, run commands, and modify files.

But with great power comes great risk. If the agent deletes a file it shouldn't have, you're in trouble.

The solution

Give the agent its own drive letter. Create a folder for the task, map it to a drive on Windows, and point the agent at it.

OS-level boundary. No VM. No Docker. Just a drive letter.

The tool

ScsSubst (https://subst.scsoi.com/) — $9.99 lifetime, one-time purchase.

The bottom line

Sandbox your AI agent. Give it its own drive letter.
