Documented steps

  1. Python: `from e2b import Sandbox; sandbox = Sandbox.create(template='<name>', timeout=3600, envs={'KEY':'value'}, metadata={'project':'x'})`.
  2. JS/TS: `await Sandbox.create({ template: '...', timeoutMs: 3600_000, envs: {...}, metadata: {...} })`.
  3. Choose a built-in template for preinstalled tools (e.g. `claude-code`, `docker`, `desktop`, `base`).
  4. Set `allow_internet_access=False` to block outbound internet unless the workload needs it.
  5. Reference env vars in later commands as `$KEY` (e.g. `sandbox.commands.run('echo $KEY')`).
