What an agent can do in E2B
Every E2B action is classed by the platform as a read, a change or a send. Reads run at once. Changes and sends are held for a person by default.

- Get Team MetricsTool to retrieve timestamped CPU, memory, and disk usage metrics for a team. Use when you need to monitor aggregated resource usage across all sandboxes belonging to a team.
- Get Team Maximum MetricsTool to retrieve the maximum value for a specific team metric in a given interval. Use when you need to check team limits or peak usage, such as maximum concurrent sandboxes allowed or highest resourc
- Get Template Build StatusTool to get the status of a template build. Use when you need to check the build status of a template that was started asynchronously. Useful in polling loops to monitor template builds in progress.

Held for approval by default (changes and sends)
Held for a person's approval by default. The approval is recorded and the action is sent once, never twice, with 10 seconds to undo. 12 actions.
- Connect to SandboxTool to connect to an existing E2B sandbox and retrieve its details. Use when you need to reconnect to a sandbox from different environments or resume a paused sandbox. The TTL is extended upon connec

- Create WebhookTool to register a new webhook to receive sandbox lifecycle events for the team. Use when you need to set up notifications for sandbox lifecycle events such as creation, updates, or termination.
- Delete SandboxTool to terminate and permanently delete a running E2B sandbox instance. Use when you need to kill a sandbox that is no longer needed. Once terminated, the sandbox cannot be resumed.
- Delete WebhookTool to unregister a webhook and stop receiving lifecycle events. Use when you need to remove a webhook that is no longer needed or to clean up webhook registrations.
- Pause SandboxTool to pause a running E2B sandbox preserving its filesystem and memory state. Use when you need to temporarily suspend a sandbox while maintaining its state for later resumption. Takes approximately
- Create SandboxTool to create a new E2B sandbox from a template. Use when you need to launch a fresh sandbox environment for code execution, testing, or development purposes.
- Set Sandbox TimeoutTool to set the timeout for an E2B sandbox. Use when you need to extend or reduce the sandbox lifetime. The timeout is measured from the current time, and calling this multiple times overwrites the pr
- Refresh SandboxTool to refresh an E2B sandbox and extend its time to live. Use when you need to keep a sandbox alive longer and prevent it from timing out.
- Start Template BuildTool to start a build for an E2B template. Use when you need to initiate the build process for a template with specific configuration. The build runs asynchronously and returns immediately with a 202
