Documented steps

  1. Attach metadata at creation: JS `Sandbox.create({ metadata: { userId: '123' } })`; Python `Sandbox.create(metadata={"userId": "123"})` (https://e2b.dev/docs/sandbox/metadata)
  2. List with the paginator: JS `const p = Sandbox.list(); const items = await p.nextItems()`; Python `p = Sandbox.list(); items = p.next_items()` — each item exposes `.metadata` (https://e2b.dev/docs/sandbox/list)
  3. Filter server-side: JS `Sandbox.list({ query: { metadata: { userId: '123' }, state: ['running','paused'] } })`; Python uses `query=SandboxQuery(metadata={...})`
  4. CLI equivalents: `e2b sandbox list --metadata key=value --state running,paused --format json`
