e2b

E2B is a leading agent sandbox in the 2026 AI agent engineering landscape (12.8k★).

When to use this skill

• Cloud sandboxes for AI-generated code — Firecracker microVM isolation
• JS/TS and Python SDKs: Sandbox.create(), commands.run(), filesystem API
• Code Interpreter SDK (e2b-code-interpreter) with stateful run_code
• Custom sandbox templates from Dockerfiles
• Pause/resume persistence; desktop sandbox variant for GUI agents
• Self-hostable infra (open source) or hosted cloud
• Ecosystem overlap: agent-guardrails covers policy; e2b covers the isolation infrastructure those policies assume; smolagents skill references E2B executor

Installation

pip install e2b   # code interpreter: pip install e2b-code-interpreter / npm i @e2b/code-interpreter
