Score breakdown
Popularity is tracked separately. Support, ads, sponsorships, and tips never affect these signals.
Why it matters
Useful for developers who want a local agent sandbox with explicit network and secret boundaries instead of trusting a tool's marketing copy about isolation.
Who should use it
Who should skip it
Pass on lensapp/lens-sandbox if you need something non-technical and turnkey rather than a tool that requires comfort with CLI, dependencies, or system configuration.

How this item is evaluated
RepoRadar assigned lensapp/lens-sandbox a composite score of 7.8 out of 10, placing it in the Silver tier. This score combines weighted sub-signals: usefulness (35%), novelty (18%), momentum (14%), maturity (10%), open-source/build quality (7%), evidence quality (6%), workflow potential (6%), and setup ease (4%). Popularity is tracked separately at 1.0 and never affects the composite score or tier. The risk label of 'conditional' reflects inherent user-impacting hazards, not generic novelty. Items with no risk flag may still require normal code review before production use.

Risk explanation
It runs untrusted workloads with outbound network, ports, package installs, and secret exchange mediated at the boundary, so first evaluation should keep the policy in ask mode until you understand the prompt flow; The install path uses a curl-piped bootstrap plus a background service and microVM runtime, so review the policy file and host integration points before standardizing on it.
