AgentBay:Code execution

Last Updated:Oct 30, 2025

This topic describes code execution in the AgentBay SDK CodeSpace environment. CodeSpace is a dedicated developer environment optimized for running Python and JavaScript code.

Overview

CodeSpace is the developer environment for AgentBay. It provides the following features:

  • Multi-language support: Run Python and JavaScript/Node.js code.

  • Isolated execution: Secure, containerized code execution.

  • Developer tools: Pre-installed interpreters and developer tools.

  • File operations: Read and write files to execute scripts.

CodeSpace environment

Create a CodeSpace session

To use the code execution feature, create a session with the code_latest image:

from agentbay import AgentBay
from agentbay.session_params import CreateSessionParams

agent_bay = AgentBay(api_key="your-api-key")

session_params = CreateSessionParams(image_id="code_latest")
result = agent_bay.create(session_params)

if result.success:
    session = result.session
    print(f"CodeSpace session created: {session.session_id}")
else:
    print(f"Session creation failed: {result.error_message}")

Python code execution

Basic Python execution

from agentbay import AgentBay
from agentbay.session_params import CreateSessionParams

agent_bay = AgentBay(api_key="your-api-key")

session_params = CreateSessionParams(image_id="code_latest")
result = agent_bay.create(session_params)

if result.success:
    session = result.session
    
    code = """
import os
import sys
print(f"Python version: {sys.version}")
print(f"Current directory: {os.getcwd()}")
print("Hello from AgentBay!")
"""
    
    result = session.code.run_code(code, "python")
    if result.success:
        print("Output:", result.result)
        # Output: Python version: 3.11.2 (main, Apr 28 2025, 14:11:48) [GCC 12.2.0]
        #       Current directory: /workspace
        #       Hello from AgentBay!
    else:
        print("Execution failed:", result.error_message)
    
    agent_bay.delete(session)

Python code with calculations

session_params = CreateSessionParams(image_id="code_latest")
result = agent_bay.create(session_params)

if result.success:
    session = result.session
    
    code = """
import math

# Calculate factorial
def factorial(n):
    return math.factorial(n)

# Fibonacci sequence
def fibonacci(n):

        return n
    return fibonacci(n-1) + fibonacci(n-2)

print(f"Factorial of 10: {factorial(10)}")
print(f"10th Fibonacci number: {fibonacci(10)}")

# List comprehension
squares = [x**2 for x in range(1, 11)]
print(f"Squares: {squares}")
"""
    
    result = session.code.run_code(code, "python")
    if result.success:
        print("Output:", result.result)
        # Output: Factorial of 10: 3628800
        #       10th Fibonacci number: 55
        #       Squares: [1, 4, 9, 16, 25, 36, 49, 64, 81, 100]

    agent_bay.delete(session)

JavaScript code execution

Node.js code execution

console.log('File created successfully');
"""
    
    result = session.code.run_code(js_code, "javascript")
    if result.success:
        print("Output:", result.result)

if result.success:

    js_code = """

Multi-file projects

Best practices

Set timeouts for long-running code

The run_code() method has a default timeout of 60 seconds.

Important

Because of gateway limitations, each request cannot exceed 60 seconds.

# The default timeout is 60 seconds
result = session.code.run_code(code, "python")

# Specify a custom timeout of up to 60 seconds
result = session.code.run_code(code, "python", timeout_s=60)

Use only standard libraries

CodeSpace comes pre-installed with standard libraries for Python and Node.js. For optimal performance and reliability, use only built-in modules, such as the following:

Python: os, sys, json, math, datetime, and re.
JavaScript: fs, path, os, and crypto.
