Code Execution AI Agent
Learn how to create AI agents that can write and execute Python code safely using e2b code interpreter.
Quick Start
Install Package
First, install the required packages:
Set API Key
Set your OpenAI API key and E2B API key as an environment variable in your terminal:
Create a file
Create a new file app.py
with the basic setup:
Start Agents
Type this in your terminal to run your agents:
Requirements
- Python 3.10 or higher
- OpenAI API key. Generate OpenAI API key here. Use Other models using this guide.
- e2b_code_interpreter package installed
Understanding Code Agents
What are Code Agents?
Code agents are specialized AI agents that can:
- Write Python code based on requirements
- Execute code safely in a sandboxed environment
- Handle code execution results and errors
- Work together in a pipeline (writer → executor)
Features
Code Writer
Writes Python code based on requirements.
Safe Execution
Executes code in a sandboxed environment.
Error Handling
Manages code execution errors and debugging.
Results Processing
Processes and formats execution results.

Troubleshooting
Code Errors
If code execution fails:
- Check syntax errors
- Verify package imports
- Enable verbose mode for debugging
Sandbox Issues
If sandbox execution fails:
- Check environment setup
- Verify permissions
- Review resource limits
