E2B
Cloud sandbox for agents that write code, execute commands, and handle files.
Open source
Best when your agent needs a safe, isolated environment to run code, install packages, and manipulate files without risking the host machine.
Selection advice
Choose E2B when code execution is a core agent capability and you need production isolation. A dedicated sandbox is cheaper than a security incident.
Best for
- code execution
- agent sandboxing
- file manipulation
Not ideal for
- agents that never execute code
- teams with existing container infrastructure

Minimal implementation shape
Give the agent an E2B sandbox. Let it `pip install pandas`, run data analysis scripts, and return results—all in an isolated environment that gets destroyed after use.
