Hatch sandbox secures MCP servers with capability-based manifests

Hatch is a new capability-based sandbox designed for MCP (Model Context Protocol) servers, operating on Linux and macOS systems. It utilizes a signed TOML manifest to define server permissions, including network access, file system operations, and subprocess execution rules. Hatch enforces these rules through a combination of Linux namespaces, cgroups, and iptables, or sandbox-exec and PF on macOS, with additional network filtering for enhanced security. AI

IMPACT Provides enhanced security for AI model context protocols, potentially improving the safety of AI deployments.
