Agent Sandbox

List Files and Directories

List directory contents and check if paths exist in the sandbox filesystem.

List Directory Contents

Use sandbox.files.list() to get the contents of a directory inside the sandbox. It returns a list of FileEntry objects.

from k8s_agent_sandbox import SandboxClient

client = SandboxClient()
sandbox = client.create_sandbox(template="python-sandbox-template", namespace="default")

# List the root directory
entries = sandbox.files.list("/")
for entry in entries:
    print(f"{entry.name:30s} {entry.type:10s} {entry.size} bytes")

sandbox.terminate()

Parameters:

Parameter Type Default Description
path str Absolute path to the directory in the sandbox
timeout int 60 Request timeout in seconds

Returns: List[FileEntry] — each entry has the following fields:

Field Type Description
name str Name of the file or directory
size int Size in bytes
type "file" | "directory" Whether the entry is a file or directory
mod_time float POSIX timestamp of last modification

Check if a Path Exists

Use sandbox.files.exists() to check whether a file or directory exists at a given path.

from k8s_agent_sandbox import SandboxClient

client = SandboxClient()
sandbox = client.create_sandbox(template="python-sandbox-template", namespace="default")

# Check before reading
if sandbox.files.exists("/home/user/config.json"):
    config = sandbox.files.read("/home/user/config.json")
    print(config.decode())
else:
    print("Config file not found")

sandbox.terminate()

Parameters:

Parameter Type Default Description
path str Absolute path to check in the sandbox
timeout int 60 Request timeout in seconds

Returns: boolTrue if the path exists, False otherwise.

Example: Browse a Workspace

from k8s_agent_sandbox import SandboxClient

client = SandboxClient()
sandbox = client.create_sandbox(template="python-sandbox-template", namespace="default")

def print_tree(path, indent=0):
    """Recursively list sandbox directory contents."""
    entries = sandbox.files.list(path)
    for entry in entries:
        prefix = "  " * indent
        print(f"{prefix}{entry.name}/" if entry.type == "directory" else f"{prefix}{entry.name}")
        if entry.type == "directory":
            print_tree(f"{path}/{entry.name}", indent + 1)

print_tree("/home/user")

sandbox.terminate()
