LocalGCP emulator
A local implementation of a Google Cloud service API used for development and testing before code touches real Google Cloud.
Glossary
Agentic local cloud glossary
Precise terms help agents avoid unsafe assumptions. These definitions keep LocalCloud positioned as a local development, CI, and demo runtime with real-GCP validation before production.
Terms
AI agent sandbox
A constrained environment where an AI coding agent can run commands, write code, and verify behavior without causing unwanted external side effects.
MCP server
A Model Context Protocol server exposes tools, resources, or prompts that agent clients can call through a structured protocol instead of ad-hoc shell instructions.
Agentic CI
A CI workflow where an AI agent helps create or maintain validation steps, while the actual job remains deterministic, reviewable, and bounded.
Localhost cloud API
A cloud SDK endpoint override that sends service calls to a local process such as LocalCloud instead of a public cloud endpoint.
Credentialless agent testing
Running an AI agent's generated code against local service endpoints without providing cloud credentials, service-account keys, or a billing project, so a mistake cannot create cloud resources or charges.
Local cloud API surface
The set of cloud service endpoints, protocols, and operations a local runtime actually implements.
