Administrative Inbox Routing with Codex: Sandbox Policy
A production playbook for administrative inbox routing in administrative operations using Codex: sandbox policy, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Back-office administrative teams
The problem
Back-office administrative teams need administrative inbox routing to run repeatedly against emails, attachments, sender metadata, policy rules, and routing labels. In administrative operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Run administrative inbox routing 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 administrative inbox routing, 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: Codex
