Agent CLI To API Migration with Claude Code: Sandbox Policy

A production playbook for agent CLI to API migration in cross-industry operations using Claude Code: sandbox policy, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.

Audience: Developer tools teams productizing a local CLI

The problem

Developer tools teams productizing a local CLI need agent CLI to API migration to run repeatedly against CLI commands, workspace files, auth, and output expectations. In cross-industry operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.

Implementation path

Run agent CLI to API migration in an ephemeral sandbox, keep provider credentials in the broker, expose narrow tools, and store logs outside the workspace for review.

Tradeoffs and failure modes

A narrower runtime blocks ambient machine behavior, but it gives security reviewers a concrete boundary. For agent CLI to API migration, the practical test is whether a second run can be debugged, retried, and consumed by a product without reading the raw agent transcript.

Runtime boundary

filesystem: /skill and /skill/.argo/inputs only
network: deny by default
artifacts: /skill/output/artifacts
logs: retained outside sandbox
provider: Claude Code
