CreateOS Sandbox Overview

CreateOS Sandbox provides Firecracker micro-VM sandboxes for AI agents, with each sandbox using its own kernel. It combines private networking with a pause-to-zero capability and exposes access through an SDK, CLI, MCP interface, and REST API. Reach for it when an agent needs isolated code-execution environments rather than a shared runtime.

Primary Use Cases for CreateOS Sandbox:
  • Run AI-agent workloads in isolated micro-VMs
  • Execute agent code with a private network
  • Connect an MCP client to sandboxed execution
  • Manage sandboxes through a CLI
