Agent Runtime
The runtime environment in which an agent actually executes code and reasoning, typically encompassing large language model calls, tool calls and browser operations. Because it can be manipulated by malicious input, it should be treated as an untrusted zone.

Agent Runtime is the underlying infrastructure that supports AI agents in running continuously, calling tools, maintaining state, and executing multi-step tasks, including components such as sandbox environments, file system access control, command execution whitelists, and cross-session state persistence mechanisms.
The industry sometimes also uses Agent Runtime or Orchestration Layer to refer to concepts similar to Harness, but Harness emphasizes more the engineering perspective of "control and constraint."
The Agent Runtime should be regarded as an untrusted zone, and any operation involving funds should not be completed within the Agent Runtime but instead executed through a proxy at the platform layer's security boundary.
