Can an agent start a sandbox with E2B Sandboxes?
Who does each step
Whether the agent handles it alone or a person has to step in.
- 01
Discover
MachineThe vendor's own machine-readable documents lead an agent to the job's interface.
- 02
Authority
Workaround · setupA person hands the agent a key or token.
- 03
Onboard
Workaround · setupA person signs up, or registers a client, for the agent.
- 04
Pay
Workaround · setupA person puts a card on file once, at the vendor's checkout.
- 05
Confirm
MachineA failure comes back typed, in its answer or as its spec declares, so an agent can tell a failure from a success.
- 06
Sustain
MachineThe agent can renew and revoke its own access.
A person once, at Authority: handing over a key or token.
A person once, at Onboard: signing up or registering a client for the agent.
A person once, at Pay: paying for it.
Not A+ yet: OAuth that lets an agent register its own client would turn handing over a key or token into a one-time consent; a way for agents to register (auth.md, a sign-up API, or OAuth with client registration) would let the agent register itself; payment inside the request (x402 or MPP) would let an agent pay its own way.
