Firecracker micro-VMs that give AI agents isolated compute

CreateOS Sandbox is a cloud sandboxing service for agents and developer workloads that need to run code in isolated Firecracker micro-VMs. Developers can provision, control, pause, resume, and destroy sandboxes through a TypeScript SDK, CLI, or MCP, with private networking and configurable outbound access.

Agenticness = how independently a tool can take action, scored across 9 dimensions. Scored independently by David Kooi, Skylark Creations — see full rubric → Last re-evaluated 28 October 2026.

Key Features
Provisions isolated Firecracker micro-VMs, each with its own Linux kernel
Runs commands and returns command output through the SDK

Connects sandboxes over a private network
Restricts outbound connectivity with configurable egress allowlists; inbound access is blocked
Use Cases
Give a coding agent an isolated environment to install dependencies, edit files, and execute tests
Run model-generated or untrusted scripts without exposing the host machine or other tenants
Keep a long-running agent task stateful by pausing it during idle gaps and resuming it later
