You cannot. The best you can ever hope for is creating VM environments, and even then it's going to surprise you sometimes. See https://gtfobins.github.io/.

Not true for the db layer :)

Look into copy on write branching. We built this natively into our AI Data Engineer (https://tryardent.com) so it could make modifications to databases with 0 blast radius pretty much because yes it's impossible to make an LLM 100% safe if it has no proper guard rails preventing destructive actions
