# `execute.process.self`

**Run programs inside its own sandbox only.** Its effect is **yes**: undone.

## What this id is made of

**This is not a string.** It is [`execute`](../../../model/lexicon/verbs/execute/index.md)`.`[`process`](../../../model/lexicon/objects/process/index.md)`.`[`self`](../../../model/lexicon/reaches/self/index.md), three nodes joined by three edges, and each of them has an address, a page and a JSON file. Follow any of them and you get the query for that word rather than a definition of it.

| Node | Edge | Reads as |
|---|---|---|
| [`execute`](../../../model/lexicon/verbs/execute/index.md) | `has_verb` | this capability has the verb `execute` |
| [`process`](../../../model/lexicon/objects/process/index.md) | `acts_on` | this capability acts on `process` |
| [`self`](../../../model/lexicon/reaches/self/index.md) | `reaches` | this capability reaches `self` |
| [`process`](../../../model/lexicon/families/process/index.md) | `in_family` | this capability is in the `process` family |
| [`yes`](../../../model/undo/index.md) | `has_undo_class` | this capability has the undo class `yes` |

> **The gloss above is a convenience, not the definition.** A node carries no inherent meaning: what `execute.process.self` is emerges from the edges traceable from it. The strongest case is [`self`](../../../model/lexicon/reaches/self/index.md), where the deployment shapes that use it **do not agree** about what it means, and the page keeps the disagreement rather than averaging it.

## In 0 of 17 published shapes

No published shape in this set has it.

|  | Barrier | What stands in the way | Is it a control |
|---|---|---|---|
| ● | none | nothing in the way | no |
| ◉ | expectation | a rule in prose, enforced by nobody | no |
| ◐ | setting | a switch the agent's own account can flip | no |
| ○ | boundary | enforced above the grant, out of the agent's reach | **yes** |

## What the starting mandates say about it

| The mandate says | Which mandates |
|---|---|
| **authorised** | none |
| **refused** | none |
| **unstated** | A coding assistant on my machine, A coding assistant in a container on the web, The desktop app, with local tools switched on, Chat, with connectors switched on, Chat in the browser, nothing connected, A CI job on a hosted runner, A browser extension I installed, A scheduled job under a service account, A reader on my mailbox, Find things in the inbox, draft replies, never send, A reader on my drive, Search our tenant, read-only, Find and read my files, An assistant over my Workspace, reading, A sandbox: build and run one AI-agent workflow, What the agent inferred it was authorised to do, from one session |

**Unstated is not authorised.** A mandate that never mentioned a capability did not authorise it, and the delta on every example page counts it as excess and says which kind it was.

## What would move it to the fourth barrier

| What | What it costs | The barrier afterwards |
|---|---|---|
| already a sandbox; keep it one | nothing | boundary |

> **This is a published reduction, not a recommendation.** Whether it is worth doing depends on the assets and the consequences, which are not in this document and are not this site's to guess. Since v0.4.3 it is also a node, `setting/execute.process.self`, in [the deployment shape universe](../../../model/universes/u2/index.md): it **narrows** this capability and **moves** it to the barrier named in the third column, which is the path the prohibitions table's last column is a projection of.
