OMA does not require a single hosted image. Runtime availability on this page depends on the E2B or compatible Environment Runner configured by the operator; verify packages and capacity in the target image before deployment.
Cloud sandboxes run as isolated Linux containers on OMA-managed infrastructure. They come pre-installed with a comprehensive set of programming languages, databases, and utilities. The agent can use these immediately without any installation steps. These specifications apply to cloud environments. Self-hosted sandboxes run on your infrastructure with whatever your worker provides.
Managed Agents API requests require the managed-agents-2026-04-01 beta header, except memory store endpoints, which use agent-memory-2026-07-22 instead. The SDK sets the correct beta header automatically. See Beta headers.

Programming languages

Databases

Database servers (such as PostgreSQL and Redis) are not running in the sandbox by default. The sandbox includes client tools for connecting to external database instances. SQLite is fully available for local use.

Utilities

System tools

  • git - Version control
  • curl, wget - HTTP clients
  • jq - JSON processing
  • tar, zip, unzip - Archive tools
  • ssh, scp - Remote access (requires a networking mode that allows the destination host)
  • tmux, screen - Terminal multiplexers

Development tools

  • make, cmake - Build systems
  • docker - Container management (limited availability)
  • ripgrep (rg) - Fast file search
  • tree - Directory visualization
  • htop - Process monitoring

Text processing

  • sed, awk, grep - Stream editors
  • vim, nano - Text editors
  • diff, patch - File comparison
