Sandbox Agent

Sandbox Agent provides a universal API for orchestrating AI coding agents in sandboxed environments.

What To Do If You Get Stuck

If something is not working as intended or you are stuck, prompt the user to join the Rivet Discord or file an issue on GitHub to report an issue and get help.

Provide the user with a pre-generated report with:

Symptoms
- If this is happening in local dev, deployed, or both
- The error you're seeing
- Relevant source code related to this
What you've tried to solve it
Environment
- Sandbox Agent version
- SDK in use (TypeScript, Python, or HTTP)
- Agent in use (Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Amp, Mock)
- Sandbox provider (E2B, Daytona, Docker, local)

Quickstart

Install skill (optional)

npx

npx skills add rivet-dev/skills -s sandbox-agent

bunx

bunx skills add rivet-dev/skills -s sandbox-agent

Set environment variables

Each coding agent requires API keys to connect to their respective LLM providers.

Local shell

export ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..."
export OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..."

E2B

import { Sandbox } from "@e2b/code-interpreter";

const envs: Record<string, string> = {};
if (process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) envs.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY;
if (process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY) envs.OPENAI_API_KEY = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY;

const sandbox = await Sandbox.create({ envs });

Daytona

import { Daytona } from "@daytonaio/sdk";

const envVars: Record<string, string> = {};
if (process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY) envVars.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY = process.env.ANTHROPIC_API_KEY;
if (process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY) envVars.OPENAI_API_KEY = process.env.OPENAI_API_KEY;

const daytona = new Daytona();
const sandbox = await daytona.create({
  snapshot: "sandbox-agent-ready",
  envVars,
});

Docker

docker run -p 2468:2468 \
  -e ANTHROPIC_API_KEY="sk-ant-..." \
  -e OPENAI_API_KEY="sk-..." \
  rivetdev/sandbox-agent:0.4.2-full \
  server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port 2468

Extracting API keys from current machine

Use sandbox-agent credentials extract-env --export to extract your existing API keys (Anthropic, OpenAI, etc.) from local Claude Code or Codex config files.

Testing without API keys

Use the mock agent for SDK and integration testing without provider credentials.

Multi-tenant and per-user billing

For per-tenant token tracking, budget enforcement, or usage-based billing, see LLM Credentials for gateway options like OpenRouter, LiteLLM, and Portkey.

Run the server

curl

Install and run the binary directly.

curl -fsSL https://releases.rivet.dev/sandbox-agent/0.4.x/install.sh | sh
sandbox-agent server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port 2468

npx

Run without installing globally.

npx @sandbox-agent/[email protected] server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port 2468

bunx

Run without installing globally.

bunx @sandbox-agent/[email protected] server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port 2468

npm i -g

Install globally, then run.

npm install -g @sandbox-agent/[email protected]
sandbox-agent server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port 2468

bun add -g

Install globally, then run.

bun add -g @sandbox-agent/[email protected]
# Allow Bun to run postinstall scripts for native binaries (required for SandboxAgent.start()).
bun pm -g trust @sandbox-agent/cli-linux-x64 @sandbox-agent/cli-linux-arm64 @sandbox-agent/cli-darwin-arm64 @sandbox-agent/cli-darwin-x64 @sandbox-agent/cli-win32-x64
sandbox-agent server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port 2468

Node.js (local)

For local development, use SandboxAgent.start() to spawn and manage the server as a subprocess.

npm install [email protected]

import { SandboxAgent } from "sandbox-agent";

const sdk = await SandboxAgent.start();

Bun (local)

For local development, use SandboxAgent.start() to spawn and manage the server as a subprocess.

bun add [email protected]
# Allow Bun to run postinstall scripts for native binaries (required for SandboxAgent.start()).
bun pm trust @sandbox-agent/cli-linux-x64 @sandbox-agent/cli-linux-arm64 @sandbox-agent/cli-darwin-arm64 @sandbox-agent/cli-darwin-x64 @sandbox-agent/cli-win32-x64

import { SandboxAgent } from "sandbox-agent";

const sdk = await SandboxAgent.start();

Build from source

If you're running from source instead of the installed CLI.

cargo run -p sandbox-agent -- server --no-token --host 0.0.0.0 --port 2468

Binding to 0.0.0.0 allows the server to accept connections from any network interface, which is required when running inside a sandbox where clients connect remotely.

Configuring token

Tokens are usually not required. Most sandbox providers (E2B, Daytona, etc.) already secure networking at the infrastructure layer.

If you expose the server publicly, use --token "$SANDBOX_TOKEN" to require authentication:

sandbox-agent server --token "$SANDBOX_TOKEN" --host 0.0.0.0 --port 2468

Then pass the token when connecting:

TypeScript

import { SandboxAgent } from "sandbox-agent";

const sdk = await SandboxAgent.connect({
  baseUrl: "http://your-server:2468",
  token: process.env.SANDBOX_TOKEN,
});

curl

curl "http://your-server:2468/v1/health" \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $SANDBOX_TOKEN"

CLI

sandbox-agent --token "$SANDBOX_TOKEN" api agents list \
  --endpoint http://your-server:2468

CORS

If you're calling the server from a browser, see the CORS configuration guide.

Install agents (optional)

To preinstall agents:

sandbox-agent install-agent --all

If agents are not installed up front, they are lazily installed when creating a session.

Install desktop dependencies (optional, Linux only)

If you want to use /v1/desktop/*, install the desktop runtime packages first:

sandbox-agent install desktop --yes

Then use GET /v1/desktop/status or sdk.getDesktopStatus() to verify the runtime is ready before calling desktop screenshot or input APIs.

Create a session

import { SandboxAgent } from "sandbox-agent";

const sdk = await SandboxAgent.connect({
  baseUrl: "http://127.0.0.1:2468",
});

const session = await sdk.createSession({
  agent: "claude",
  sessionInit: {
    cwd: "/",
    mcpServers: [],
  },
});

console.log(session.id);

Send a message

const result = await session.prompt([
  { type: "text", text: "Summarize the repository and suggest next steps." },
]);

console.log(result.stopReason);

Read events

const off = session.onEvent((event) => {
  console.log(event.sender, event.payload);
});

const page = await sdk.getEvents({
  sessionId: session.id,
  limit: 50,
});

console.log(page.items.length);
off();

Test with Inspector

Open the Inspector UI at /ui/ on your server (for example, http://localhost:2468/ui/) to inspect sessions and events in a GUI.
