What it costs to keep this loaded
Counted locally with the o200k_base tokenizer, which is exact for GPT models; Claude uses its own tokenizer and its counts differ. Treat this as one consistent yardstick across the catalogue rather than a bill. Prices are per million input tokens.
| Model | Per session | Once invoked |
|---|---|---|
| Fable 5.1 | $0.00092 | $0.03385 |
| Opus 5 | $0.00046 | $0.01692 |
| Sonnet 5 | $0.00018 | $0.00677 |
| Haiku 4.5 | $0.00009 | $0.00338 |
Grade A, and why
ak-dev-new-sandbox-provider scanned grade A with 0 findings against 26 rules in 11 categories — prompt injection, anti-refusal, data exfiltration, privilege escalation, supply chain, agent snooping, system-prompt leakage, SSRF and excessive agency — measured today.
A static scan of the body, not an audit. Every finding is printed with the line that produced it so you can judge whether it matters here. A mod is markdown that instructs an agent; that is exactly why what it instructs is worth reading.
Nothing flagged
None of the 26 patterns this scan looks for appear in this file: no shell pipes, no recursive deletes, no credential paths, no hidden text, no instruction-override or anti-refusal phrasing, no agent-config snooping. That is not a guarantee, it is the absence of the things that are checkable.
How it starts

Adding a New Sandbox Provider
This guide walks through adding a new sandbox provider to Agent Kernel. Use the shipped
local_subprocess (ak-py/src/agentkernel/sandbox/providers/local_subprocess.py) and
docker (ak-py/src/agentkernel/sandbox/providers/docker.py) implementations as reference.
Existing Providers
| Provider | type value |
Isolation | Extra |
|---|---|---|---|
| Local subprocess | local_subprocess |
none (no isolation; dev/test) |
— (stdlib) |
| Docker | docker |
container |
agentkernel[sandbox-docker] |
| E2B | e2b |
micro_vm |
agentkernel[e2b] |
| Daytona | daytona |
container |
agentkernel[daytona] |
| EC2 via SSM | ec2_ssm |
none (attach-only to an existing instance) |
agentkernel[aws] |
| Kubernetes | kubernetes |
container |
agentkernel[kubernetes] |
Planned in later iterations: bedrock_agentcore.
Reference implementations by pattern: docker.py (sync SDK via to_thread), e2b.py
(native async SDK + native idle timeout passthrough), daytona.py (sync SDK + native
auto-stop + configurable base image/snapshot/env_vars + resource mapping), ec2_ssm.py
(attach-only provider with user-identity
mapping: sts:AssumeRole + run_as), kubernetes.py (sync SDK via to_thread with plain
dict manifests, exec over the WebSocket stream API (the caller's RBAC needs BOTH create
and get on pods/exec), user identity via cached per-subject RBAC-impersonation clients,
and the instance-level capability override, below). Providers with a native auto-stop take
the profile's idle_timeout as a second constructor argument, passed by their factory
branch; kubernetes takes it too, sizing the pod's activeDeadlineSeconds orphan ceiling.
Attach-only backends (environments the framework connects to but never owns) subclass
AttachedEnvironmentProvider instead of SandboxProvider: it fixes create (binds to the
config's attach_to, never provisions) and destroy (no-op) once, so only attach is
implemented. The handle subclasses AttachedEnvironment (not Sandbox directly), which fixes
close() as a no-op and keeps the class name honest (e.g. EC2SSMEnvironment). Declare
provisions=False, attaches_external=True — the factory validates the profile's
environment: managed | attached mode against these flags at startup (attach-only providers
are rejected under managed, and attached requires attaches_external plus an attach_to
target), and the worker never self-heal-provisions or disposes an attached environment.
What this file has done since we first saw it
Hashed on every crawl. A supply-chain change to an agent config is a question of when, not whether, so the history is kept rather than the latest state alone.

ak-dev-new-sandbox-provider is a skill published in the GitHub repository yaalalabs/agent-kernel (166 stars, last pushed yesterday), licensed Apache-2.0. It adds 92 tokens to every session and 3,385 once invoked, about $0.0005 per session on Opus 5. A static security scan graded it A with 0 findings. No closer match exists in the catalogue, so it is treated as the original; first seen 2026-08-30.
