# CORS Configuration

When calling the Sandbox Agent server from a browser, CORS (Cross-Origin Resource Sharing) controls which origins can make requests.

## Default Behavior

By default, no CORS origins are allowed. You must explicitly specify origins for browser-based applications:

```bash
sandbox-agent server \
  --cors-allow-origin "http://localhost:5173"
```

> **NOTE:** The built-in Inspector UI at `/ui/` is served from the same origin as the server, so it does not require CORS configuration.

## Options

| Flag | Description |
|------|-------------|
| `--cors-allow-origin` | Origins to allow |
| `--cors-allow-method` | HTTP methods to allow (defaults to all if not specified) |
| `--cors-allow-header` | Headers to allow (defaults to all if not specified) |
| `--cors-allow-credentials` | Allow credentials (cookies, authorization headers) |

## Multiple Origins

Specify the flag multiple times to allow multiple origins:

```bash
sandbox-agent server \
  --cors-allow-origin "http://localhost:5173" \
  --cors-allow-origin "http://localhost:3000"
```

## Restricting Methods and Headers

By default, all methods and headers are allowed. To restrict them:

```bash
sandbox-agent server \
  --cors-allow-origin "https://your-app.com" \
  --cors-allow-method "GET" \
  --cors-allow-method "POST" \
  --cors-allow-header "Authorization" \
  --cors-allow-header "Content-Type" \
  --cors-allow-credentials
```
