    # no-remote       | Prevents the action or test from being executed remotely or cached remotely.
    #                 | This is equivalent to using both `no-remote-cache` and `no-remote-exec`.
    # ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # no-remote-cache | Results in the action or test never being cached remotely (but it may
    #                 | be cached locally; it may also be executed remotely). Note: for the purposes
    #                 | of this tag, the disk-cache is considered a local cache, whereas the http
    #                 | and gRPC caches are considered remote. If a combined cache is specified
    #                 | (i.e. a cache with local and remote components), it's treated as a remote
    #                 | cache and disabled entirely unless --incompatible_remote_results_ignore_disk
    #                 | is set in which case the local components will be used.
    # ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # no-remote-exec  | Results in the action or test never being executed remotely (but it may be
    #                 | cached remotely).
    # ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # no-cache        | Results in the action or test never being cached (remotely or locally)
    # ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # no-sandbox      | Results in the action or test never being sandboxed; it can still be cached
    #                 | or run remotely - use no-cache or no-remote to prevent either or both of
    #                 | those.
    # ----------------+-----------------------------------------------------------------------------
    # local           | Precludes the action or test from being remotely cached, remotely executed,
    #                 | or run inside the sandbox. For genrules and tests, marking the rule with the
    #                 | local = True attribute has the same effect.

    # Copying file & directories is entirely IO-bound and there is no point doing this work
    # remotely.
    #
    # Also, remote-execution does not allow source directory inputs, see
    # https://github.com/bazelbuild/bazel/commit/c64421bc35214f0414e4f4226cc953e8c55fa0d2 So we must
    # not attempt to execute remotely in that case.
    #
    # There is also no point pulling the output file or directory from the remote cache since the
    # bytes to copy are already available locally. Conversely, no point in writing to the cache if
    # no one has any reason to check it for this action.
    #
    # Read and writing to disk cache is disabled as well primarily to reduce disk usage on the local
    # machine. A disk cache hit of a directory copy could be slghtly faster than a copy since the
    # disk cache stores the directory artifact as a single entry, but the slight performance bump
    # comes at the cost of heavy disk cache usage, which is an unmanaged directory that grow beyond
    # the bounds of the physical disk.
    # TODO: run benchmarks to measure the impact on copy_directory
    #
    # Sandboxing for this action is wasteful as well since there is a 1:1 mapping of input
    # file/directory to output file/directory and no room for non-hermetic inputs to sneak in to the
    # input.
