Cursor Cloud Agents can now use Vercel Sandbox instead of Cursor-hosted machines. Vercel says each request receives an isolated Firecracker microVM, while Functions and Workflow handle queued work, provisioning, monitoring, and cleanup. The practical implication is architectural: keep durable coordination separate from generated-code execution, and treat their permissions as different design problems. Vercel’s announcement

Gemini CLI’s September 4 nightly release hardens several agent-tooling boundaries at once: it enforces RFC 9207 issuer identification in the MCP OAuth flow, isolates the macOS Seatbelt Sandbox temporary directory, strengthens extension-path validation, and removes a hardcoded Google CrUX API key from chrome-devtools-mcp. The practical implication is unglamorous but important: protocol identity, temporary files, extension loading, and secrets each require their own control. Release notes
