• Updated Aug 27, 2026, 09:05 AM

E2B's Code Interpreter SDK is a developer library for giving AI agents secure, isolated execution environments.

Use Cases ▼

Running AI-generated code in isolated sandboxes

Building coding agents that execute shell commands and scripts

Processing and transforming data with Python or shell

Creating computer-use agents that control virtual Linux desktops

Running tests and AI code reviews in GitHub Actions CI/CD

Securely executing untrusted code from LLM outputs

What Problem It Solves ▼

AI agents need to execute code and use tools, but doing so on a host system is risky. E2B's Code Interpreter SDK solves this by providing isolated Linux sandboxes that agents can use to run code, process data, and execute commands securely, without exposing the underlying infrastructure.

Key Features ▼

✓

Simple SDK to create and manage sandboxes in a few lines of code

✓

Secure, isolated Linux VMs for executing untrusted code

✓

Supports JavaScript/TypeScript and Python

✓

Templates enable reproducible environments

✓

Designed for enterprise-scale agentic workflows

Overview

E2B's Code Interpreter SDK is a developer library for giving AI agents secure, isolated execution environments. It provides JavaScript/TypeScript and Python SDKs that let developers create a sandbox and run commands in a few lines of code. The sandbox is a fast, secure Linux VM created on demand, designed for executing code, processing data, and running tools safely.

Full Description ▼

Built around two core building blocks, Sandbox and Template, the SDK enables reproducible runtime environments. A Sandbox is the execution environment for an agent, while a Template defines the starting state of that environment. This separation allows developers to customize and version the tools and dependencies available to their agents.

E2B is positioned for enterprise agentic workflows and, according to the documentation, is used by 94% of Fortune 100 companies for frontier agentic workflows. Example use cases include computer-use agents that control virtual Linux desktops, running tests and AI code reviews in GitHub Actions, and general code interpretation. The documentation provides quickstarts, examples, and a full SDK reference.
