OpenAI Agents SDK: Sandbox Execution and Model-Native Harness in 2026
The OpenAI Agents SDK now features sandbox execution, enabling agents to run code, access files, and execute shell commands in isolated container-based environments. A model-native harness automates tool dispatch, state persistence, and multi-step workflows, reducing the need for custom orchestration code. The SDK supports deployment on local Unix, Docker, or hosted platforms like Cloudflare and Vercel using the same agent definition.
- ▪The OpenAI Agents SDK provides a code-first framework for building AI agents in TypeScript or Python.
- ▪Sandbox execution offers isolated Unix-like workspaces with filesystem, shell, package installs, Git repos, mounted storage, and resumable state.
- ▪The model-native harness handles tool routing, state persistence, multi-step execution, and recovery, replacing custom orchestration logic.
- ▪The harness and sandbox are architecturally separate, with the harness managing the control plane and the sandbox handling execution.
- ▪Agents can be deployed locally or on hosted providers using the same agent definition and manifest configuration.
