The listing is served through the control plane, so it works on every sandbox regardless of when it was created. A paused sandbox is resumed automatically before the listing and stays active afterward. `modified_unix` is 0 for entries on older sandboxes that predate that field. ## OpenAPI ````yaml https://raw.githubusercontent.com/superserve-ai/sandbox/refs/heads/main/api/openapi.yaml get /sandboxes/{sandbox_id}/files openapi: 3.1.0 info: title: Superserve API version: 0.1.0 description: > Superserve provides sandbox infrastructure to run AI agents in the cloud. Powered by Firecracker MicroVMs. ## Sandbox lifecycle ``` active <--> paused --> deleted ``` A sandbox is `active` when running and `paused` after being paused. Resuming a paused sandbox returns it to `active`. Deleting releases all resources. | Endpoint | What it does | |----------|-------------| | `POST /sandboxes` | Create a new sandbox (optionally `from_template`) | | `PATCH /sandboxes/:id` | Partially update a running sandbox (e.g. network rules) | | `POST /sandboxes/:id/pause` | Snapshot full state, suspend the VM | | `POST /sandboxes/:id/resume` | Restore from snapshot, continue where it left off | | `DELETE /sandboxes/:id` | Delete sandbox and all resources | ## Sandbox environment By default sandboxes boot from the curated `superserve/base` template (Ubuntu 24.04, 1 vCPU, 1 GB RAM, 4 GB disk, with Python 3.12, Node.js 22, npm, git, curl, and build-essential pre-installed). Callers can override with any template name (e.g. `superserve/python-3.11`, `superserve/node-22`) or a team-owned template UUID via the `from_template` field on `POST /sandboxes`. ## Files and commands `/files`, `/exec`, and `/exec/stream` run against a single sandbox and use its `X-Access-Token` (returned by create, resume, and activate), not the team API key. Two host forms reach them: - `https://sandbox.superserve.ai/...` with `X-Superserve-Sandbox-Id: `. - `https://boxd-{sandbox_id}.sandbox.superserve.ai/...` — no routing header needed. contact: name: Superserve Team license: name: Proprietary servers: - url: https://api.superserve.ai description: Production security: [] paths: /sandboxes/{sandbox_id}/files: parameters: - $ref: '#/components/parameters/SandboxId' get: tags: - Files summary: List a directory inside a sandbox description: | Returns a one-level listing of a directory inside the sandbox.
