If you only eat one bagel today, this is the bagel.
Summary
Matchlock is a CLI tool for securing AI agent workloads by running them in ephemeral microVMs with Linux-based sandbox isolation. The tool provides network allowlisting, secret injection via MITM proxy, and VM-level isolation to prevent AI agents from having unrestricted access to the host machine. It enables developers to give AI agents a full Linux environment that boots quickly while maintaining security through disposable, isolated containers.

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.
Your secrets never enter the VM.
Matchlock secures AI agent workloads with a Linux-based sandbox.
