Erm, no, that's not a sandbox, it's an annoyance that just makes you click "yes" before you thoughtlessly extend the boundaries.

A real sandbox doesn't even give the software inside an option to extend it. You build the sandbox knowing exactly what you need because you understand what you're doing, being a software developer and all.

I know 'exactly' that I will need internet for research as well as installing dependencies.

And I imagine it's going to be the same for most developers out there, thus the "ask for permission" model.

That model seems to work quite well for millions of developers.

If you know then why do you need to be asked? A sandbox includes what you know you need in it, no more, no less.

		With Codex it runs in a sandbox by default. As we just discussed, obviously you are likely to need internet access at some point. The agent can decide whether it believes it needs to go outside of the sandbox and trigger a prompt. This way you could have it sandboxed most of the time, but still allow access outside of the sandbox when you know the operation requires it.
