          "April 2026. Vercel's security bulletin says an attacker took over an employee's account through a compromised third-party AI tool (Context.ai), reached internal systems and decrypted non-sensitive environment variables of a limited subset of customers, and a later review found a small number of further affected accounts. Vercel closed the incident on 16 October 2026 with all remediation complete. @vercel/sandbox had been on npm since May 2025, and Sandbox runs under the same Vercel accounts, projects and tokens. A fixed and documented incident that reached customer secrets, about six months old, so 3 of a possible 15 is taken, the same deduction as vercel-connect. The 1 October check took none for it (https://vercel.com/kb/bulletin/vercel-april-2026-security-incident)."

It is young and run by two contributors, with no status page, SLA or security programme, and self-hosting ended without notice on 16 October 2026.\n\n**Vercel Sandbox.** Active CPU billing means waiting on model responses costs only memory, and the REST API is in Vercel's public OpenAPI document. Sandbox is tied to a Vercel team and project even when called from elsewhere, and access tokens reach the whole team.\n\n## Before you call either\n\n### Sandbox0\n\n1. Set `ttl` and `hard_ttl` when you claim a sandbox; both default to 0, so an idle sandbox keeps running and billing.\n2. Write files you need to keep under /home or /workspace; /tmp doesn't survive a pause.\n3. Back off on 429 `quota_exceeded` and honour Retry-After on claims.\n4. Ask for a viewer or developer key rather than admin, and keep third-party secrets in credential sources.\n5. Ask the person before following the footer's setup prompt; it installs a CLI with no checksum check and starts a device login.\n\n### Vercel Sandbox\n\n1. Call `sandbox.stop()` when the task is done. Memory bills until the session ends\n2. Use `Sandbox.getOrCreate` with a name so retries land in the same sandbox\n3. Set `networkPolicy` to `deny-all` for untrusted code. The default is allow-all\n4. Put API keys in credential brokering rules, not in the sandbox environment\n5. Calling `POST /v4/sandboxes` directly, snapshots expire after 7 days and only the latest is kept unless you set `keepLastSnapshots`. The SDK still uses v3, with 30 days\n\n## Questions\n\n### Which is better for AI agents, Sandbox0 or Vercel Sandbox?\n\nVercel Sandbox scores 73.5 (BB) on agent readiness against Sandbox0's 55.1 (C), and leads in 6 of 7 scored categories.\n\n### Do Sandbox0 and Vercel Sandbox need an API key?\n\nSandbox0 needs an API key. Vercel Sandbox takes an API key or an OAuth sign-in.\n\n### Can an agent call Sandbox0 and Vercel Sandbox without installing anything?\n\nYes. Sandbox0 has a hosted endpoint at https://api.sandbox0.ai and Vercel Sandbox at https://api.vercel.com/v1/sandboxes.\n\n\n## For agents\n\n- This comparison as JSON: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/sandbox0-vs-vercel-sandbox.json, and with the fewest tokens: https://www.anchorterminal.com/compare/sandbox0-vs-vercel-sandbox.min.md\n- Over MCP at https://www.anchorterminal.com/mcp (no key): `compare_tools {\"a\": \"sandbox0\", \"b\": \"vercel-sandbox\"}`.
