Both are registered on every build but refuse to run outside native Windows, when the Windows sandbox is not enabled, or when policy excludes the platform.\n\n**Details**\n\n- `install` prints a JSON `{status, message}` result and exits 0 only when status is `\"ok\"`.\n- `status` prints `{available, installed, policyLocked, reasons}`; `policyLocked` comes from a check for sandbox settings locked by administrator policy.\n\n**Usage**\n\n`claude plugin sandbox status claude plugin sandbox install` **Evidence** `Install the Windows sandbox user and network filters. Self-elevates (one UAC prompt). Prints a JSON {status, message} result and exits 0 only when status is \"ok\".`, `Print Windows sandbox availability and install state as JSON {available, installed, policyLocked, reasons}.`\n\n- Area: Sandbox\n- Tier: Use it now\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5"}
