This year, the JuiceFS team will present the talk "Stateful Sandboxes for Stateless Agents: Designing Durable Volumes for MCP Tool Workspaces."
Agent sandboxes are often described as ephemeral, but real MCP tool workflows are not. Agents edit files, install dependencies, run tests, download inputs, generate reports, and resume after failures. When workspace state is treated as disposable, reproducibility, isolation, and debugging become unnecessarily painful.
This talk presents a practical framework for designing durable volumes in agent sandboxes. Through a structured checklist — covering lifecycle management, tenant isolation, quotas, snapshots, read-only sharing, dependency caches, artifact retention, remount recovery, and audit trails — attendees will learn how to reason about workspace state systematically.
We then map these requirements to Kubernetes PersistentVolumes and explore the tradeoffs using JuiceFS CSI as a concrete open-source example. JuiceFS is used for its strong Kubernetes integration and snapshot capabilities, though the framework applies equally to local containers, serverless environments, and remote tool sandboxes.
We hope to see you there!
