bus factor = how many people it takes to cover more than half the commits (6 months). 1 is a solo project; higher means the work is spread across a team. top-author share is the single busiest author's slice of those commits.

why it's a big deal

  • Gives teams running AI agents a way to execute untrusted, model-generated code inside isolated environments, covering coding agents, GUI automation, agent evaluation, and reinforcement learning training.
  • Serves developers across ecosystems with SDKs for Python, Java/Kotlin, JavaScript/TypeScript, C#/.NET, and Go, plus a CLI and a Model Context Protocol server for direct agent integration.
  • Addresses the operational risk of agent workloads through per-sandbox network egress policies, an ingress gateway, and a credential vault that injects secrets without exposing them to the sandboxed code.

under the hood

  • Written in Python with the server built on FastAPI, alongside an execution daemon, ingress and egress proxies, and Kubernetes deployment configurations.
  • Supports multiple isolation backends including Docker for local runs, Kubernetes for distributed scheduling, and gVisor, Kata Containers, and Firecracker microVMs for stronger host isolation.
  • Defines a Sandbox Protocol specifying lifecycle and execution APIs, letting developers plug in custom sandbox runtime implementations, with built-in command execution, filesystem operations, and a code interpreter.
