# Run agents in disposable microVM sandboxes with network allowlists and secret injection using Matchlock
Launch risky agent work inside disposable microVMs when you need stronger isolation, sealed egress, and host-side secret injection instead of direct host access.
## Prerequisites
Local shell, Matchlock CLI, virtualization support for the target host, and the agent image or command you want to run inside the microVM
## Installation
Use the upstream install or setup path that matches your environment:
- brew tap jingkaihe/essentials
- brew install matchlock
- docker save myapp:latest | matchlock image import myapp:latest # Import from tarball
- pip install matchlock
Requirements and caveats from upstream:
- matchlock run --image python:3.12-alpine \
- --allow-host "api.openai.com" python agent.py
- --secret ANTHROPIC_API_KEY@api.anthropic.com python call_api.py
Basic usage or getting-started notes:
- AI agents need to run code, but giving them unrestricted access to your machine is a risk. Matchlock lets you hand an agent a full Linux environment that boots in under a second - isolated and disposable.
- ### System Requirements
- **Linux** with KVM support
