vercel-sandbox

Guidance for using Vercel Sandbox, which runs code inside temporary Firecracker microvirtual machines isolated from the main system.

In plain words
What is it for?
Use it to execute user-generated or AI-generated code safely, or to experiment without running that code directly in the main application environment.
Why use it?
It provides a separate place to run code that may be untrusted, including code supplied by users or generated by AI.

Getting it into your agent

One page per mod, every tool's command on it. A separate URL per tool would split the same page into five that compete with each other.

Token cost

What it costs to keep this loaded

Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.

Security

Grade B, and why

vercel-sandbox scanned grade B with 2 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured 3d ago.

A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.

Asks for rootmediumPrivilege escalation

A mod that escalates privileges can change anything on the machine, not only the project.

`sudo dnf clean all 2>&1 && sudo dnf install -y --skip-broken ${CHROMIUM_SYSTEM_DEPS.join(" ")} 2>&1 && sudo ldconfig 2>&1`,

Expected in a hook, worth knowing in a rule or an instructions file.

Files

What ships with it

2 files beside SKILL.md in the same directory: the scripts, references and assets a skill reads on demand. Not counted in the per-session cost; read them before you install if any of them is executable.

Changes

What this file has done since we first saw it

Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.
