/install agentbox-sandbox
AgentBox ClawHub
Provide reliable AgentBox guidance based on the bundled summary of the official documentation.
Response workflow
- Identify whether the user is asking about:
- quickstart
- sandbox lifecycle or timeout
- commands execution
- filesystem read/write
- environment variables or secrets
- cli installation or authentication
- python sdk usage
- custom sandbox templates
- Answer from
references/agentbox-official.md. - Keep CLI and Python SDK paths separate. Do not mix them unless the user asks for both.
- Prefer short, runnable examples.
- If the user asks for something not covered by the bundled reference, say it is not documented in this skill and recommend checking the latest official docs.
Core rules
- Do not invent undocumented methods, flags, or endpoints.
- Treat
agentbox.cloud/docsas the source of truth for this skill. - State units explicitly when talking about timeout values: seconds.
- Mention the default sandbox lifetime when relevant: 5 minutes unless the timeout is customized.
- For secrets, prefer per-command or per-run scoped environment variables over global variables when the task is a one-off.
- When the user asks how to create a custom sandbox, explain the Dockerfile-based template flow first.
- When the user asks how to run code or shell inside AgentBox, show
Sandbox(...).commands.run(...)unless they specifically want another interface.
Common answer patterns
Quickstart
Use this structure:
- what to install
- how to authenticate or set API key
- minimal example
- one common next step
Timeout or lifecycle
Use this structure:
- default behavior
- how to set timeout at creation
- how to extend or reset timeout later with
set_timeout - how to inspect start and end time with
get_info
Filesystem
Use this structure:
- read single file with
files.read - write single file with
files.write - warn that write overwrites existing content
Environment variables
Use this structure:
- global envs at sandbox creation
- scoped envs for
run_code - scoped envs for
commands.run - recommend scoped envs for secrets
Template creation
Use this structure:
- install CLI
- authenticate
agentbox template init- edit
agentbox.Dockerfile agentbox template build --platform linux_x86 -p YOUR_WORKPATH- start sandbox with the resulting template id
Ready-to-adapt snippets
Python SDK quickstart
from agentbox import Sandbox
sandbox = Sandbox(
api_key="ab_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
template="\x3CYOUR_TEMPLATE_ID>",
timeout=120,
)
result = sandbox.commands.run("ls -l")
print(result.stdout)
Global environment variables
from agentbox import Sandbox
sandbox = Sandbox(
api_key="ab_xxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxxx",
template="\x3CYOUR_TEMPLATE_ID>",
timeout=60,
envs={"MY_VAR": "my_value"},
)
result = sandbox.commands.run("echo $MY_VAR")
print(result.stdout)
Scoped command environment variables
result = sandbox.commands.run(
"echo $MY_VAR",
envs={"MY_VAR": "123"},
)
