We’ve introduced the Vercel Sandbox CLI, a command-line interface for managing isolated compute environments. Built on the familiar Docker CLI model, developers can now:

- Create and run sandboxes for Node.js (`node22`) or Python (`python3.13`) workloads.
- Execute commands inside existing sandboxes.
- Copy files between local and remote environments.
- List, stop, and remove sandboxes across projects and teams.
- Run interactively with support for `--tty`, `--interactive`, and `--publish-port` for port forwarding.
- Automate workflows via authentication tokens, environment variables, and timeouts.

Full reference now available in the [Sandbox CLI docs](https://vercel.com/docs/vercel-sandbox/cli-reference).
