| Description | Create a sandbox for copilot |
|---|---|
| Usage | sbx create copilot PATH [PATH...] [flags] |
Description
Create a sandbox with access to a host workspace for copilot.
The workspace path is required and will be mounted inside the sandbox at the same path as on the host. Additional workspaces can be provided as extra arguments. Append ":ro" to mount them read-only.
Use "sbx run SANDBOX" to attach to the agent after creation.
Global options
| Option | Default | Description |
|---|---|---|
--clone | Run the agent on a private in-container clone of the host Git repository (mounted read-only) instead of bind-mounting the workspace; the agent's commits are accessible via the sandbox-<name> git remote on the host | |
--cpus | 0 | Number of CPUs to allocate to the sandbox (0 = auto: N-1 host CPUs, min 1) |
-D, --debug | Enable debug logging | |
--kit | Kit reference (directory, ZIP, or OCI). Can be specified multiple times | |
--mcp | MCP server name to enable (use 'all' for all registered servers). Can be specified multiple times | |
-m, --memory | Memory limit in binary units (e.g., 1024m, 8g). Default: 50% of host memory, max 32 GiB | |
--name | Name for the sandbox (default: <agent>-<workdir>, letters, numbers, hyphens, periods, plus signs and minus signs only) | |
-q, --quiet | Suppress verbose output | |
-t, --template | Container image to use for the sandbox (default: agent-specific image) |
