Overview
When to use Kernel
Kernel is listed for Browser, Sandbox, Code Execution workflows. Kernel provides isolated cloud browsers for AI agents, with persistent profiles, managed authentication, telemetry, and session replays. Agents can control browsers through its API, MCP server, CLI, OpenAPI description, or TypeScript, Python, and Go SDKs. Consider it when an agent needs this capability through a documented service boundary instead of custom infrastructure maintained inside the application.
In 4agent's task model, the product maps to browser automation, code execution. That makes it a candidate for workflows that research the web, build and deploy software.
Integration checklist
- Access: confirm the api key authentication flow, credential scope, rotation process, and whether calls can be attributed to a user or service identity.
- Client support: official or documented clients are listed for typescript, python, go.
- Automation: OpenAPI is listed as available, MCP is listed as available, and CLI support is listed as available. Confirm each requirement in the provider's current documentation.
- Operations: test rate limits, timeouts, retry safety, error payloads, logs, data retention, and the current free-tier and paid pricing model with production-like volume.
