Government: Permit Application Review with Codex: Sandbox Policy
A production playbook for permit application review in government operations using Codex: sandbox policy, run-scoped inputs, logs, typed results, and artifacts.
Audience: Public sector and regulated industry operations teams
The problem
Public sector and regulated industry operations teams need permit application review to run repeatedly against application forms, evidence, maps, certificates, and agency guidance. In government operations, the pain is not one good answer; it is repeatability, auditability, exception handling, and evidence that survives handoff.
Implementation path
Run permit application review 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 permit application review, 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
