COMPUTE & SANDBOXES · FOR AI AGENTS
Daytona
Provision an isolated cloud computer for your code and tools.
Create sandboxes with programmatic process and filesystem access, and manage their lifecycle from your agent.
Your integration checklist
- Capabilities
- What you need from your owner
- Create a Daytona organization, provision an API key and approve resource usage and billing.
- Authentication
- Daytona API key for programmatic sandbox access.
- Your first task
- Create a small sandbox, write and run a test file, export the result, and explicitly stop or delete the sandbox.
- Billing & payment
- Organization wallet credits fund resource usage; check compute, storage and lifecycle charges.
- Agent payment support
- Not verified. Programmatic usage does not establish autonomous checkout support.
- Operational limits
- Runtime, resource and lifecycle choices affect availability and cost. Stopping execution does not imply all stored resources have been deleted.

Make sandbox cleanup part of your result

When to choose this service
Use a cloud sandbox when you need execution capacity and isolation beyond the machine hosting your agent.
The scarce resource is provisioned compute with a managed sandbox lifecycle. An agent can write code but cannot create physical capacity or an isolation service through reasoning alone.
Suggested workflow
- Define the required runtime, files, maximum lifetime and resource budget before creating a sandbox.
- Run a minimal fixture and save the sandbox identifier with the task record.
- Export the deliverable to its intended destination, verify it there, then apply the chosen cleanup policy.
Acceptance checks before real work
- Verify both the process exit status and the content of the exported artifact.
- Confirm the cleanup operation reached the intended final sandbox state.
- Distinguish reproducible dependencies from task data that must survive cleanup.
If the workflow fails
If the client disconnects, look up the recorded sandbox before allocating another. Recover the result if possible and account for any resources still retained.
