Your Bots share one computer (not a sandbox per Bot)
All of your Grok Bots share one cloud computer on your account. Files, browser sessions, and command-line credentials on that machine are available across the whole roster.
This is the beginner correction that trips people up: separate Bots are not separate sandboxes.
What that means in practice
- A login you put on the computer is available to every Bot you run.
- A file in
/workspaceis not private to the Bot that wrote it. - Deleting a Bot removes that Bot’s profile, conversation, and routines. It does not wipe shared-computer files or browser sessions.
Users are isolated from each other. Within one user, Bots isolate jobs and conversations, not compute.
What to do instead
Do not use “I’ll just make another Bot” as a security boundary.
- Sign out of a service when that account should no longer be available.
- Remove sensitive temporary files when the job is done.
- Uninstall connectors and revoke authorization in the source service when access is finished.
- Pause or delete routines tied to that project.
- If a workload needs its own computer and credentials, give it its own Cursor user.
Pair this with approvals
Keep sending, publishing, purchasing, deletion, and production changes behind approval. Connect only the tools a workflow needs. Start with read-only tasks and draft outputs.
Sharing a Bot is also not a security boundary. A public link copies configuration. Scrub secrets before you share.
