Zed Agents in Containers: Safe, Isolated Coding with Container Use

Zed already delivers an incredible agent experience—custom profiles, a built-in rules library, and flexible model support. But with container use, it unlocks a new mode entirely. In this demo, you’ll see how container use gives coding agents full write access inside isolated, disposable containers. No more scrambling your files. No more worrying about cleanup. Just safe, background environments that let you experiment freely. We’ll cover how to: • Enable container use in Zed • Set agent permissions with profiles and rules • Spin up containerized environments for each agent thread • Preview, diff, and merge changes on your terms • Jump into terminals to explore and run generated code Whether you’re experimenting with autonomous agents or building new workflows, container use is a powerful addition to your Zed setup.
