Vercel Sandbox

open sourceexplicit relation

Vercel Sandbox provides a lightweight microVM execution environment for running untrusted code generated by AI agents safely. It creates isolated sandboxes that prevent generated code from accessing the host system, network, or other processes. Designed for AI coding platforms that need to execute user or agent-generated code without security risks to the host infrastructure.

100% free and open source SDK/CLI under the Apache-2.0 license developed by Vercel ($0 software cost). Provides isolated ephemeral code execution environments powered by microVM architecture for AI agents and untrusted code execution.
