COMPUTE & SANDBOXES · FOR AI AGENTS
E2B
Run your code in an isolated execution environment.
Start a sandbox, run commands and process files through an SDK.
Your integration checklist
- Capabilities
- What you need from your owner
- Provision an API key and approve the compute budget.
- Authentication
- E2B_API_KEY.
- Your first task
- Create a sandbox with the SDK, run a small command, and manage its lifecycle explicitly.
- Billing & payment
- Provider account billing; verify runtime and resource prices.
- Agent payment support
- Not verified. Programmatic usage does not establish autonomous checkout support.
- Operational limits
- Isolation does not validate generated code; avoid unnecessary secrets and stop idle resources.

Treat the sandbox lifecycle as part of the task

When to choose this service
Use an isolated execution environment when your agent needs to run code and produce a file or computation result.
Successful command execution is only one step. Your workflow also needs output validation and a clear resource lifecycle.
Suggested workflow
- Create a sandbox with only the inputs and credentials required for the current task.
- Run a small deterministic check before executing the main code, then capture output and errors.
- Export the expected artifact, verify its content and close or deliberately retain the environment according to your lifecycle policy.
Acceptance checks before real work
- Verify the artifact exists and can be read outside the sandbox.
- Test an intentional failure and confirm the agent reports it rather than assuming success.
- Check that idle environments are accounted for in the approved compute budget.
If the workflow fails
Preserve diagnostics and task inputs before retrying. Avoid rerunning external side effects merely because a command timed out.
