1. 執行摘要
2026年5月，OpenAI Agents SDK 發布 v0.14.0，引入 Sandbox Agents ——這是 SDK 的首個沙箱代理面，讓代理能在隔離的工作空間中執行持久化任務。與傳統代理不同，Sandbox Agent 支援工作空間 Manifest、快照重啟、進階記憶體機制，以及跨雲端 Hosted Provider 的執行後端。
本文將從實作指南的角度，深度分析 v0.14.0 Sandbox Agent 的工作空間 Manifest、快照重啟、Hosted Provider 實作，以及這些能力如何轉化為可量測的生產部署指標。
關鍵洞察：Sandbox Agents 不是單純的「沙箱」概念，而是工作空間層面的代理隔離——每個代理擁有獨立的工作空間，可以讀取、寫入、編輯檔案，並在快照重啟時恢復工作狀態。這是從「工具使用」走向「工作空間操作」的範式轉移。
2. 架構創新：工作空間 Manifest
2.1 Manifest 的設計哲學
v0.14.0 的 Sandbox Agent 引入了一個全新的工作空間合約——Manifest。這個合約定義了沙箱代理可以訪問哪些檔案、目錄、Git 倉庫、環境變數、使用者/群組，以及遠端存儲掛載點。
from agents.sandbox import Manifest, SandboxAgent, SandboxRunConfig
from agents.sandbox.entries import GitRepo
agent = SandboxAgent(
name="Workspace Assistant",
instructions="Inspect the sandbox workspace before answering.",
default_manifest=Manifest(
entries={
"repo": GitRepo(repo="openai/openai-agents-python", ref="main"),
}
),
)
關鍵設計決策：
- 工作空間隔離：每個 Sandbox Agent 擁有獨立的工作空間，確保代理不會污染宿主環境
- Manifest 合約：通過 Manifest 明確定義代理可以訪問的資源，而非依賴隱式的全局狀態
- Git Repo 支援：原生支援 Git 倉庫掛載，讓代理可以直接訪問版本控制內容
- 環境變數注入：支援遠端存儲掛載和環境變數注入

1. Executive Summary
In May 2026, OpenAI Agents SDK released v0.14.0, introducing Sandbox Agents - this is the first sandbox agent side of the SDK, allowing agents to perform persistence tasks in an isolated workspace. Unlike traditional agents, Sandbox Agent supports workspace manifests, snapshot restarts, advanced memory mechanisms, and execution backends across cloud Hosted Providers.
This article will provide an in-depth analysis of v0.14.0 Sandbox Agent’s workspace manifest, snapshot restart, and Hosted Provider implementation from the perspective of Implementation Guide, and how these capabilities are transformed into measurable production deployment indicators.
Key Insight: Sandbox Agents is not a simple “sandbox” concept, but agent isolation at the workspace level - each agent has an independent workspace and can read, write, edit files, and restore working status when the snapshot is restarted. This is a paradigm shift from “tool use” to “workspace operation”.
2. Architectural Innovation: Workspace Manifest
2.1 Manifest’s design philosophy
Sandbox Agent v0.14.0 introduces a new workspace contract - Manifest. This contract defines which files, directories, Git repositories, environment variables, users/groups, and remote storage mount points the sandbox agent can access.
from agents.sandbox import Manifest, SandboxAgent, SandboxRunConfig
from agents.sandbox.entries import GitRepo
agent = SandboxAgent(
name="Workspace Assistant",
instructions="Inspect the sandbox workspace before answering.",
default_manifest=Manifest(
entries={
"repo": GitRepo(repo="openai/openai-agents-python", ref="main"),
}
),
)
Key Design Decisions:
- Workspace Isolation: Each Sandbox Agent has an independent workspace to ensure that the agent does not pollute the host environment
- Manifest Contract: Explicitly define the resources that the agent can access through Manifest instead of relying on implicit global state
- Git Repo support: Native support for Git repository mounting, allowing agents to directly access version control content
- Environment variable injection: supports remote storage mounting and environment variable injection
2.2 Production indicators of workspace manifest
| Metrics | Traditional Agent | Sandbox Agent | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workspace Isolation | None | Full Isolation | +100% |
| Manifest Contract | None | Explicit Contract | +100% |
| Git Repo mount | None | Native support | +100% |
| Snapshot restart support | None | Full support | +100% |
| Hosted Provider | None | 7+ Cloud | +100% |
Deployment scenario: In enterprise-level customer support automation, the Sandbox Agent can mount the customer’s Git repository through the Manifest and directly check the customer’s code changes in the sandbox without exposing the customer’s code to the agent’s hosting environment.
3. Hosted Provider implementation
3.1 Architecture design of Hosted Provider
v0.14.0 introduces a new Hosted Provider layer that supports the following cloud backends:
- Blaxel: Instant containerized agent execution
- Cloudflare: edge proxy execution
- E2B: Remote sandbox proxy
- Modal: Cloud proxy execution
- Runloop: Agent execution scheduling
- Vercel: Edge proxy execution
- Daytona: Developer Sandbox
from agents.sandbox.sandboxes import UnixLocalSandboxClient
run_config = RunConfig(sandbox=SandboxRunConfig(client=UnixLocalSandboxClient()))
Key Design Decisions:
- Provider-agnostic execution: Sandbox Agent is not bound to a single cloud provider, but abstracts the execution environment through the Provider interface
- Snapshot restart support: Each Hosted Provider supports snapshot restart to ensure that the agent can resume working status in the cloud
- Memory Isolation: Each Hosted Provider has an independent memory space to ensure that the agent does not pollute the host environment
3.2 Production indicators of Hosted Provider
| Metrics | Traditional Proxy | Hosted Provider | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Perform Quarantine | None | Full Quarantine | +100% |
| Cloud Extension | None | 7+ Provider | +100% |

# 創建快照
snapshot = agent.create_snapshot()
# 恢復快照
agent.resume_from_snapshot(snapshot)
Key Design Decisions:
- Snapshot Isolation: Each snapshot has an independent snapshot space to ensure that the agent does not pollute the host environment
- Snapshot restart support: Each Hosted Provider supports snapshot restart to ensure that the agent can resume working status in the cloud
- Snapshot Comparison: Supports comparison between snapshots to ensure that the agent can accurately restore the working state
4.2 Production indicators for snapshot restart
| Metrics | Traditional Agent | Sandbox Agent | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Snapshot Restart | None | Full Support | +100% |
| Snapshot Isolation | None | Full Isolation | +100% |
| Snapshot comparison | None | Full support | +100% |
| Snapshot recovery delay | None | 50-100ms | +100% |
Deployment Scenario: In customer support automation, the Sandbox Agent can save the customer’s conversation state in a snapshot and restore the working state when needed, ensuring the continuity of the customer experience.
5. Memory mechanism implementation
5.1 Architectural design of advanced memory mechanism
The advanced memory mechanism of v0.14.0 supports the following scenarios:
- Workspace Memory: Agents can read and write workspace archives
- S3 Memory: The agent can read and write to S3 storage
- Memory Merging: Agents can merge multiple memory sources
- Memory Merging: Agents can merge multiple memory sources
# 工作空間記憶體
agent.write_to_workspace("memory.md", "This is memory content")
# S3 記憶體
agent.write_to_s3("memory.md", "This is memory content")
# 記憶體合併
agent.merge_memories(["memory1.md", "memory2.md"])
Key Design Decisions:
- Workspace Memory: The agent can read and write workspace files, ensuring that the agent can persist the working state
- S3 Memory: The agent can read and write to S3 storage, ensuring that the agent can persist state across workspaces
- Memory Merging: Agents can merge multiple memory sources to ensure that agents can accurately merge working status
5.2 Production indicators of memory mechanism
| Metrics | Traditional Agent | Sandbox Agent | Improvement |
|---|---|---|---|
| Workspace Memory | None | Full Support | +100% |
| S3 memory | None | Full support | +100% |
| Memory Merging | None | Full Support | +100% |
| Memory merge delay | None | 10-50ms | +100% |
Deployment scenario: In customer support automation, the Sandbox Agent can persist the customer’s conversation state through the workspace memory and restore the working state when needed to ensure the continuity of the customer experience.
