Not quite the same thing, but I wrote my own agent (as in a replacement for Claude Code) that uses SSH for all operations. That means I can run a very minimal VM (like 4GB RAM Oracle free tier), run the agent locally, and the agent only operates on remote files.
The limitation is that some Typescript builds run out of RAM (even with swap) and I can't use playwright, but still it's been useful.

It's fun writing an agent, too.
