What

The docs for the in-sandbox agent API (sandbox.agent.start from @opencomputer/sdk) already exist — agents/overview, agents/tools, agents/events, agents/multi-turn — but they were orphaned: not referenced anywhere in docs.json, so unreachable from the sidebar. A reader landing on "Agents" only saw the hosted world (Cores/Hermes/OpenClaw, Channels, REST) and would conclude that's the only way to run an agent.

This surfaced while building the demo-agent-triage demo, which is built entirely on sandbox.agent.start and couldn't find supporting docs.

Changes

  • docs.json — split the single "Agents" nav group into two top-level groups:
    • Agent SDK (new)agents/overview, agents/tools, agents/events, agents/multi-turn (the in-sandbox agent API)
    • Hosted Agents (renamed from "Agents") — agents-api overview, Cores, Packages, Channels, REST, CLI
  • agents/overview.mdx — retitled (H1 "Run an agent in a sandbox", sidebar "Overview"); added a callout distinguishing the SDK path from Hosted Agents, with a cross-link.
  • agents-api/overview.mdx — mirror callout linking back to the Agent SDK.

No content was deleted; existing pages are just regrouped and cross-linked.

Notes

  • Branched off main; contains only these 3 doc files.
  • The "Agent SDK" group name sits near "TypeScript SDK"/"Python SDK" in the sidebar — open to "Sandbox Agents" instead if reviewers prefer less collision.

🤖 Generated with Claude Code

The SDK agent docs (sandbox.agent.*) existed but were orphaned from the nav — readers landing on "Agents" only saw the hosted Cores/Channels world (Hermes, OpenClaw) and had no way to discover the in-sandbox agent API. Promote those pages into a dedicated "Agent SDK" group, rename the existing group to "Hosted Agents", and cross-link the two overviews so each points at the other.

Evaluating agent experience using 2027.dev · View dashboard

The "long-lived vs single task" framing was inaccurate: the hosted API also runs ephemeral, one-task-per-sandbox sessions (POST /v1/agents/:id/sessions). Reframe the split around who manages the runtime — SDK-driven in-sandbox Claude sessions vs platform-managed agent definitions reached via persistent instances or ephemeral sessions.
