AgentsRuntime Setup
Overview
Connection Paths for your Agents
Make the runtime decision
| Decision point | Choose External HTTP | Choose Sandbox |
|---|---|---|
| Where agent code executes | Your infrastructure | Pipelines-managed sandbox |
| Best fit | Existing hosted agent service | You want Pipelines to execute agent code directly |
| Network/control model | Full control of your infra/network | Platform-managed runtime per task |
| Coding CLI workflows | Not supported for graded repo workspaces | Supported (shell command + coding scenario) |
External HTTP Agents
Workflow Order:
- Register an external HTTP agent
- Porting without the SDK (or Agent SDK (Python))
- Local development
- Inspecting runs
Sandbox Agents
Workflow Order:
- Sandbox agent reference
- Run a coding CLI agent (only if using shell-command/CLI flow)
- Task seeding or Coding agents (depending on run type)
- Inspecting runs
