+## Security
+
+Using the word `containers` gives the false impression of heightened security.
+Toolbox is not a mechanism to run untrusted software in a sandboxed environment.
+Toolbox provides developers with access to their private data and keys
+(such as $HOME), hardware peripherals (such as cameras and microphones), etc.
+
+Do not use it to run the things that you aren't comfortable to run on your host.
