AI Agent Workspace Isolation: The Drive Letter Approach

AI agent workspace isolation doesnt have to be complicated. Sometimes the simplest solution is the best.

The drive letter approach

Map a folder to a drive letter. That drive is the agents entire world.

Why it works

  • Windows enforces the boundary
  • Every tool understands drive letters
  • No container runtime needed
  • Instant startup

Tools

  • Local folders: subst.scsoi.com
  • WebDAV/cloud: drive.scsoi.com

Both are one-time purchases. No subscription.

When to upgrade

Move to Docker/VMs when you need:

  • Network isolation
  • Linux environments
  • Untrusted code execution

For most people, a drive letter is enough. Start there.
