SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

It helps prevent abuse, DDoS, and malicious traffic from reaching your Vercel-hosted application while minimizing impact on legitimate users and bots.

Core Features & Use Cases

Vercel Firewall & WAF Guidance: Configure custom rules with actions like deny, challenge, log, bypass, rate_limit, and redirect across request attributes (path, host, headers, geo, TLS fingerprints).
Operational Safety Controls: Use staging via drafts with vercel firewall diff and publish explicitly with vercel firewall publish --yes, while applying certain security modes immediately (Attack Mode, system bypass/mitigations).
Incident Response Tools: Enable/disable Attack Mode and pause/resume system mitigations for short-term emergency handling and false-positive debugging.

Quick Start

Ask the agent to stage a rate limit for your API endpoints by adding a log-only rule first, review the matched traffic in the firewall metrics/dashboard, and then publish it to production once you confirm it only targets abusive requests.
