Execute code in isolated sandbox environments

Actions

Create Sandbox Create an isolated sandbox environment for code execution

Delete Sandbox Delete a sandbox environment

Execute Code Execute code in a sandbox environment

Execute Command Run a shell command in a sandbox environment

Create Sandbox

The Create Sandbox component creates an isolated environment for executing code safely.

Use Cases

• AI code execution: Run AI-generated code in a secure sandbox
• Code testing: Test untrusted code without affecting your infrastructure
• Development environments: Create ephemeral development environments

Configuration

• Snapshot: Base environment snapshot (optional, uses default if not specified)
• Target: Target region for the sandbox (optional)
• Auto Stop Interval: Time in minutes before the sandbox auto-stops
• Environment Variables: Key-value pairs to set as environment variables in the sandbox

Output

Returns the sandbox information including:

• id: The unique sandbox identifier (use this in subsequent execute/delete operations)
• state: The current state of the sandbox (e.g., “started”)

Notes

• Sandboxes are created in sub-90ms
• Each sandbox is fully isolated
• Remember to delete sandboxes when done to free resources

Example Output

{
  "data": {
    "id": "sandbox-abc123def456",
    "state": "started"
  },
  "timestamp": "2026-01-19T12:00:00Z",
  "type": "daytona.sandbox"
}

Delete Sandbox

The Delete Sandbox component removes an existing Daytona sandbox.

Use Cases

• Resource cleanup: Delete sandboxes after code execution is complete
• Cost management: Remove unused sandboxes to free resources
• Workflow cleanup: Clean up sandboxes at the end of automation workflows

Configuration

• Sandbox: The ID or name of the sandbox to delete (from createSandbox output)
• Force: Optional flag to force deletion even if sandbox is running

Output

Returns deletion confirmation including:

• deleted: Boolean indicating successful deletion
• id: The ID of the deleted sandbox

Notes

• Always delete sandboxes when they are no longer needed
• Sandboxes will auto-stop after the configured interval, but explicit deletion frees resources immediately

Example Output

{
  "data": {
    "deleted": true,
    "id": "sandbox-abc123def456"
  },
  "timestamp": "2026-01-19T12:00:00Z",
  "type": "daytona.delete.response"
}

Execute Code

The Execute Code component runs code in an existing Daytona sandbox.

Use Cases

• AI code execution: Run AI-generated code safely
• Code testing: Execute untrusted code in isolation
• Script automation: Run Python, TypeScript, or JavaScript scripts
• Data processing: Execute data transformation scripts

Configuration

• Sandbox ID: The ID of the sandbox (from createSandbox output)
• Code: The code to execute (supports expressions)
• Language: The programming language (python, typescript, javascript)
• Timeout: Optional execution timeout in milliseconds

Output

Returns the execution result including:

• exitCode: The process exit code (0 for success)
• result: The stdout/output from the code execution

Notes

• The sandbox must be created first using createSandbox
• Code output is captured from stdout
• Non-zero exit codes indicate execution errors

Example Output

{
  "data": {
    "exitCode": 0,
    "result": "Hello, World!\n"
  },
  "timestamp": "2026-01-19T12:00:00Z",
  "type": "daytona.execute.response"
}

Execute Command

The Execute Command component runs shell commands in an existing Daytona sandbox.

Use Cases

• Package installation: Install dependencies (pip install, npm install)
• File operations: Create, move, or delete files in the sandbox
• System commands: Run any shell command in the isolated environment
• Build processes: Execute build scripts or compilation commands

Configuration

• Sandbox ID: The ID of the sandbox (from createSandbox output)
• Command: The shell command to execute
• Working Directory: Optional working directory for the command
• Timeout: Optional execution timeout in seconds

Output

Returns the command result including:

• exitCode: The process exit code (0 for success)
• result: The stdout/output from the command execution

Notes

• The sandbox must be created first using createSandbox
• Commands run in a shell environment
• Non-zero exit codes indicate command failures

Example Output

{
  "data": {
    "exitCode": 0,
    "result": "Successfully installed requests-2.31.0\n"
  },
  "timestamp": "2026-01-19T12:00:00Z",
  "type": "daytona.command.response"
}
