Outbound access from the sandbox, and the coming egress pinning.
A computer has general outbound network access — the agent can install packages, call APIs, and fetch data without extra configuration. Inbound access is opt-in and governed.
Outbound from the sandbox is filtered on the egress path, and the filter is not a general private-address block. Stated exactly, so you can plan against it rather than around it:
Shell egress is not filtered by host. Cloud-metadata endpoints (169.254.169.254) and the 10.0.0.0/8 and 172.16.0.0/12 ranges are unreachable from a sandbox, and so is almost every 192.168.0.0/16 address — but that is the network’s own routing, not a guarantee we enforce, and it is not complete: at least one 192.168.x.x host answers. Do not treat “RFC1918 is blocked” as a security boundary for bash, and do not run a service an agent must not reach on a network the sandbox shares.The one control that is a boundary is allow_outbound: false at create time — a complete, verified kill-switch for all outbound traffic, immutable for the life of the computer. There is no per-host or per-domain shell allow-list in Phase 1.The browser is different: its private/loopback/metadata block is enforced by us, on every action, and does hold.
Not available. There is no port-preview surface today: POST /v1/computers/{id}/expose is
unrouted and answers 404 not_found (no route for POST /v1/computers/{id}/expose), and neither
vetta computer expose nor vetta computer unexpose is a command. A sandbox reaches out; nothing
reaches in. This section returns when the route does.
Coming soon. All sandbox HTTPS egress will be pinned through Vetta’s egress proxy, so the vault can substitute secrets at the network boundary. The sandbox, the model, the transcript, and your logs only ever see opaque placeholders; the real value is swapped in at egress, outside the sandbox. Today, vault injection is live on the MCP connector path — credentials are added as headers on Vetta’s side of the connection, never entering the sandbox.
This closes the loop with the shell’s per-call env: rather than injecting real secrets into the sandbox environment, egress pinning lets an agent reference a credential by placeholder and have it resolved on the way out. See the vault for the injection model.
