sandbox-cargo

sandbox-cargo is a cursor rule for Cursor from zifeo/lade. It costs 239 tokens per session, scanned A, original, MPL-2.0.

A set of rules for running Rust's Cargo commands inside a Cursor sandbox. Cargo is Rust's build and package tool; these rules explain how to handle its compiler cache and wrapper without leaving the sandbox.

In plain words
What is it for?
It is for compiling, linting, and testing Rust projects in the sandbox while preserving the configured shared build cache and compiler wrapper.
Why use it?
It avoids weakening sandbox protection when compilation, linting, or unit tests fail because a cache daemon is blocked. It also prevents conflicting build-directory settings and unsafe retries.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade A, and why

sandbox-cargo scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 1mo ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Nothing flagged

None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.

What it actually says

Cargo stays in the sandbox

enableSharedBuildCache remaps Cargo dirs. It does not cover sccache. ~/.cargo/config.toml sets rustc-wrapper = "sccache". sccache is a daemon (AF_UNIX / 127.0.0.1). Seatbelt denies both. That is sccache: error: Operation not permitted.

.cargo/sccache-wrapper skips sccache when CURSOR_SANDBOX is set. .cargo/config.toml overrides the home wrapper. Do not pin target-dir / build-dir. That fights the shared Cargo cache.

Do not request all or disable the sandbox because cargo / clippy / rustc failed. Do not retry as RUSTC_WRAPPER=. Restore the wrapper if it is missing.

all is only for work that truly needs unrestricted filesystem or network. A compile or unit test is not that.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
