Vercel Sandbox Firewall Adds Outbound Proxying to Secure AI Agent Traffic

Vercel, the frontend cloud platform, updated its Vercel Sandbox firewall to support outbound request proxying. Developers can now route HTTPS traffic from isolated sandboxes through a custom proxy server to log or transform requests. This includes a Vercel-issued OIDC token (a cryptographic identity proof) to verify the source team and project.

As AI agents move toward Vercel’s deepsec agentic coding, securing network access is a critical bottleneck. This update mirrors Cloudflare’s outbound security workers by providing a programmable egress layer. It prevents data exfiltration by ensuring agents only communicate with approved domains through a controlled, auditable intermediary.

You can now use matchers to apply proxying or credentials brokering (injecting secrets into requests) based on specific HTTP methods or paths. This allows for fine-grained control, such as only proxying POST requests to a specific API. These features are in beta for Pro and Enterprise plans via the @vercel/sandbox@beta SDK.
