What

Evaluation runs that hand Claude a Bash or PowerShell tool now build a sandbox first and deny access to a long list of credential locations (AWS, GCP, Azure, Docker, Kubernetes, SSH, Kerberos, Maven, Gradle, SBT, npm, pip and more). If the machine has no sandbox backend, or a managed policy turns the sandbox off, the run is refused rather than executed unconfined.

Details
Evidence

A shell tool (Bash or PowerShell) was granted but this machine cannot confine it (no sandbox backend on this platform, or it is not installed), so the run was refused rather than run unconfined

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
