title: Cloud sandbox reference
url: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/cloud-sandboxes-reference
description: Pre-installed packages, databases, and utilities available in cloud sandboxes.
---

Cloud sandboxes run as isolated Linux containers on Anthropic-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.

<Note>
  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](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta-headers#endpoint-specific-headers).
</Note>

## Databases

| Database          | Description                                        |
| ----------------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
| SQLite            | Pre-installed, available immediately               |
| PostgreSQL client | `psql` client for connecting to external databases |
| Redis client      | `redis-cli` for connecting to external instances   |
