SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

💡 This Skill requires @vercel/sandbox.

What problem does it solve?

Vercel Sandbox guidance helps you execute untrusted or AI-generated code in isolation so your app and infrastructure stay protected from unsafe behavior.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Ephemeral Firecracker microVM execution: Run code in a short-lived VM with a tight isolation boundary.
  • Browser automation in isolation: Execute agent-browser + headless Chromium workflows for tasks like screenshotting and accessibility/snapshot capture.
  • Fast startup via sandbox snapshots: Preinstall system dependencies and tools so sandbox runs start in sub-second time.
  • Secure execution configuration: Use Vercel OIDC credentials on Vercel or explicit Vercel tokens for local control.

Quick Start

Create a Vercel Sandbox execution helper for your project, then run your untrusted code or agent-browser commands inside the sandbox with an optional snapshot for faster boot.

Frequently Asked Questions about vercel-sandbox

High-intent search queries and answers about installing and using this skill.

FAQPage Schema
How do I safely execute untrusted or AI-generated code in isolation?

Safely executing untrusted code requires ephemeral Firecracker microVMs that provide a tight isolation boundary, which you can create using the Vercel Sandbox package's Sandbox.create() method.

Can I run headless Chromium and browser automation tasks inside a secure sandbox?

Yes, headless Chromium browser automation can run inside the Vercel Sandbox using agent-browser workflows, allowing isolated execution for tasks like screenshotting and accessibility snapshot capture.

How do I speed up microVM startup time for frequent code execution?

MicroVM startup time can be reduced to sub-second speeds by using sandbox snapshots, which preinstall system dependencies and tools so execution environments boot instantly.

What authentication is required to run Vercel Sandbox locally?

Running Vercel Sandbox locally requires explicit Vercel tokens for authentication and environment control, whereas deployments on Vercel can automatically use Vercel OIDC credentials.

Does Vercel Sandbox work for server-side tool execution in agent workflows?

Yes, Vercel Sandbox is designed for server-side tool execution and scheduled agent workflows, providing strict run boundaries and secure isolation for dynamic command execution.
