Field notes
The documented API creates an account, returns a key shown only once, and lets a caller request a sandbox with a timeout before sending commands to it. Funding options include x402 USDC and a checkout link that can be handed to a person. The page distinguishes machines it runs from partner capacity: it names Firecracker microVMs for its own machines but says a partner may provide a different isolation type, including a container.
