    No, I don't think you're missing anything, other than you'd only mount the directories you want the tool / development environment to have access to. Take for instance the `npm` command [1], it mounts `$PWD` so if you install a compromised package then it can go through the folder you're in, but it can't then go up directories and sniff around your home directory. It would also only have access to the environment variables that have been configured for the container, which in this case would also include AWS credentials.
