Environments in Managed Agents

Environments are managed Linux sandboxes that give agents an isolated place to execute code and persist files. They are decoupled from interaction context, so you can reuse the same environment across multiple interactions or start fresh at any time.

The following example demonstrates how to create an interaction with a fresh remote environment and retrieve its ID:

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="Install pandas and matplotlib, verify the imports, and print the versions.",
    environment="remote",
)

print(f"Environment ID: {interaction.environment_id}")

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const client = new GoogleGenAI({});

const interaction = await client.interactions.create({
    agent: "antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input: "Install pandas and matplotlib, verify the imports, and print the versions.",
    environment: "remote",
});

console.log(`Environment ID: ${interaction.environment_id}`);

REST

curl -X POST "https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/interactions" \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-H "x-goog-api-key: $GEMINI_API_KEY" \
-H "Api-Revision: 2026-05-20" \
-d '{
    "agent": "antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    "input": "Install pandas and matplotlib, verify the imports, and print the versions.",
    "environment": "remote"
}'

The `environment` parameter

The environment parameter accepts three forms:

Form	Example	When to use
`"remote"`	`environment="remote"`	Provision a fresh sandbox.
Environment ID	`environment="env_abc123"`	Reuse an existing sandbox with all its files and packages.
Config object	`environment={...}`	Provision a new sandbox with sources, network rules, or both.

The following examples demonstrate the three ways of using the environment parameter.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

# Fresh sandbox
interaction = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="Write a hello world script.",
    environment="remote",
)

# Reuse an existing sandbox
interaction_2 = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="Modify the script to accept a name argument.",
    environment=interaction.environment_id,
    previous_interaction_id=interaction.id,
)

# New sandbox with sources
interaction_3 = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="List all files and summarize the project.",
    environment={
        "type": "remote",
        "sources": [
            {
                "type": "repository",
                "source": "https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife",
                "target": "/workspace/spoon-knife",
            }
        ],
    },
)

print(interaction.output_text)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const client = new GoogleGenAI({});

const interaction = await client.interactions.create({
    agent: "antigravity-preview-05-2026",

    environment: "remote",

// Reuse an existing sandbox

Configure an environment

One way to set up an environment is to tell the agent what you need installed. It handles dependency resolution and troubleshooting. Once the environment is ready, save the environment_id and reuse it.

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="Install pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn. Verify all imports work and print the installed versions.",
    environment="remote",
)

# Reuse the configured environment
interaction_2 = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="Clone https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife into /workspace/tools. Run the test suite and fix any missing dependencies.",
    environment=interaction.environment_id,
    previous_interaction_id=interaction.id,
)

# Reuse the configured environment
interaction_3 = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="Using the tools in /workspace/tools, list the files.",
    environment=interaction.environment_id,
    previous_interaction_id=interaction_2.id,
)

print(interaction.output_text)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const client = new GoogleGenAI({});

const interaction = await client.interactions.create({
    agent: "antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input: "Install pandas, matplotlib, and seaborn. Verify all imports work and print the installed versions.",
    environment: "remote",
});

const interaction2 = await client.interactions.create({
    agent: "antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input: "Clone https://github.com/octocat/Spoon-Knife into /workspace/tools. Run the test suite and fix any missing dependencies.",
    environment: interaction.environment_id,
    previous_interaction_id: interaction.id,
});

const interaction3 = await client.interactions.create({
    agent: "antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input: "Using the tools in /workspace/tools, list the files.",
    environment: interaction.environment_id,
    previous_interaction_id: interaction2.id,
});
console.log(interaction.output_text);

Mount from a source

If you know exactly what files the agent needs, mount them in a single call instead of iterating. The environment config object accepts a sources array with three types:

Source type	`type` value	Description	Limit
Git repository	`repository`	Clones a repository from a URL into the sandbox at `target`.	500 MB
Cloud Storage	`gcs`	Copies a file or directory from Cloud Storage into the sandbox at `target`.	2 GB
Inline content	`inline`	Writes raw text content to a file in the sandbox at `target`.	1 MB per file, 2 MB total

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="List all files under /workspace and describe what you find.",

You can combine both approaches: mount known sources declaratively, then iterate with follow-up interactions to install packages or run setup scripts. You can't set root (/) as target when adding a custom source, you must always specify a sub-directory.

Private sources

You can also download from private Github repositories or private Cloud Storage buckets by adding the credentials in the network configuration:

For private Git repositories, use Basic authentication with your GitHub Personal Access Token (PAT). Encode the token using x-oauth-basic as the username:

echo -n "x-oauth-basic:ghp_YourPATHere" | base64

Pre-installed software

The sandbox runs on Ubuntu and comes with runtimes and common packages pre-installed. The agent can install additional packages at runtime using pip install or npm install. Packages installed during an interaction persist when you reuse the same environment_id.

Category	Pre-installed packages
UNIX tools	`curl`, `wget`, `git`, `rsync`, `unzip`, `ripgrep`, `fd-find`, `gawk`, `bc`, `tree`, `which`, `lsof`, `htop`, `jq`, `iproute2`, `procps`, `gcloud CLI`
Python 3.12	`numpy`, `pandas`, `requests`, `google-genai`, `beautifulsoup4`, `pyyaml`, `ast-grep-cli`
Node.js 22	`create-next-app`, `create-vite`, `typescript`

Network configuration

By default, environments have unrestricted outbound network access. Use the network field to restrict outbound traffic to specific domains. Each rule specifies a domain and an optional transform object to inject headers into matching requests. These headers can be unique per interaction, and you can update them for the same environment.

Field	Type	Description
`domain`	`string`	Domain to match. Use an exact hostname or `*` for all domains.
`transform`	`object`	Object containing flat key-value pairs representing headers to inject into matching requests, e.g. `{"Authorization": "Bearer ..."}`.

When an allowlist is set, only requests to explicitly listed domains are permitted. You can use wildcards to match subdomains (e.g., {"domain": "*.example.com"}), but note that this does not match the root domain example.com, which must be added separately. To permit all other traffic, such as routing unlisted domains without injected headers, add {"domain": "*"} as a catch-all entry.

Credentials

You can add credentials for your agent to use by adding header transformations. The credentials are injected in the respective HTTP headers by an egress proxy, they are never exposed inside the sandbox as environment variables or files.

Python

import subprocess
from google import genai

# Fetch a short-lived access token from your local gcloud CLI
gcloud_token = subprocess.check_output(
    ["gcloud", "auth", "print-access-token"], text=True
).strip()

Disable network access

To block all outbound network access, set network to disabled:

Python

from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="Analyze the local files only.",
    environment={
        "type": "remote",
        "network": "disabled",
    },
)

print(interaction.output_text)

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";

const client = new GoogleGenAI({});

const interaction = await client.interactions.create({
    agent: "antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input: "Analyze the local files only.",
    environment: {
        type: "remote",
        network: "disabled",
    },
});

console.log(interaction.output_text);

REST

    "input": "Analyze the local files only.",
    "environment": {
        "type": "remote",
        "network": "disabled"
    }
}'

Environment lifecycle

Environments follow this lifecycle:

State	Behavior
Created	Provisioned when an interaction specifies `environment: "remote"` or a config object.
Active	Running while an interaction is in progress.
Idle	Auto-snapshot and stopped after 15 minutes of inactivity.
Offline	Retained for 7 days since last active. Can be resumed by passing its ID.
Deleted	Removed from the system.

Download files from the environment

The agent creates files inside the sandbox during execution. You can download the full environment snapshot as a tar file using the Files API:

Python

import os
import requests
import tarfile
from google import genai

client = genai.Client()

interaction = client.interactions.create(
    agent="antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input="Write a file environments_test.txt with content 'Environments' inside the sandbox.",
    environment="remote",
)

env_id = interaction.environment_id
api_key = os.environ.get("GEMINI_API_KEY")

response = requests.get(
    f"https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/environment-{env_id}:download",
    params={"alt": "media"},
    headers={"x-goog-api-key": api_key},
    allow_redirects=True,
)

with open("snapshot_env.tar", "wb") as f:
    f.write(response.content)

os.makedirs("extracted_env_snapshot", exist_ok=True)
with tarfile.open("snapshot_env.tar") as tar:
    tar.extractall(path="extracted_env_snapshot")

print(os.listdir("extracted_env_snapshot"))

JavaScript

import { GoogleGenAI } from "@google/genai";
import { execSync } from "child_process";
import * as fs from "fs";

const client = new GoogleGenAI({});

const interaction = await client.interactions.create({
    agent: "antigravity-preview-05-2026",
    input: "Write a file environments_test.txt with content 'Environments' inside the sandbox.",
    environment: "remote",
});

const envId = interaction.environment_id;
const apiKey = process.env.GEMINI_API_KEY || "";

const url = `https://generativelanguage.googleapis.com/v1beta/files/environment-${envId}:download?alt=media`;
const response = await fetch(url, {
    headers: {
        "x-goog-api-key": apiKey,
    },
});

if (!response.ok) {
    throw new Error(`Failed to download file: ${response.statusText}`);
}

const buffer = Buffer.from(await response.arrayBuffer());
fs.writeFileSync("snapshot_env.tar", buffer);

if (!fs.existsSync("extracted_env_snapshot")) {
    fs.mkdirSync("extracted_env_snapshot");
}
execSync("tar -xf snapshot_env.tar -C extracted_env_snapshot");

console.log(fs.readdirSync("extracted_env_snapshot"));

Pricing & resources

Each environment runs with fixed resource allocations:

Resource	Value
CPU	4 cores
Memory	16 GB

Environment compute (CPU, memory, sandbox execution) is not billed during the preview period. See Pricing for agent token costs.

Limitations

Preview status: Environments and managed agents are in preview. Features and schemas may change.
Inline source size: Inline sources are limited to 1mb per file, and 2mb total across all files.
Source size: Git repositories are limited to 500 MB and Cloud Storage repositories to 2 GB.
Environment startup: Provisioning a new environment takes up to ~5 seconds. Large source repositories may increase this time.
File support: The agent is currently constrained to reading text and image files. Binary file support is not yet available.
No mounting from root: You can't set root (/) as target when adding a custom source, you must always specify a sub-directory.
