What is RunTools?

RunTools is an AI infrastructure platform that provides everything you need to build AI-powered applications:

Sandboxes

Isolated execution environments via API. Create, pause, resume, and manage sandboxes with millisecond startup.

Agents

Configurable AI agents with tools and sandbox access. Build once, deploy anywhere.

Code Execution

Ephemeral runtime for one-shot code execution. Python, Node.js, Go, Rust, and more.

Tools Marketplace

Install, configure, and call server-side tools. Gmail, Slack, Stripe, and hundreds more.

AIP Hub

Agent Invoke Protocol — portable context, universal invocation, and agent-to-agent communication.

​
Why RunTools?

RunTools is built for AI-native development. We focus on three things: Speed — Sandboxes boot in milliseconds. Pause and resume in under a second with full state preservation. No cold starts, no idle costs. Tools — A centralized marketplace for server-side integrations. Install once, call from anywhere. Build your own tools and monetize them. Flexibility — Bring your own Docker images. Use any AI model. Deploy agents as APIs with WebSocket streaming. Self-host if you need to.

​
Quick Example

import { RunTools } from '@runtools/sdk';

const rt = new RunTools({ apiKey: process.env.RUNTOOLS_API_KEY });

// Create a sandbox
const sandbox = await rt.sandboxes.create({ template: 'nodejs-20' });

// Execute commands
await sandbox.exec('npm create vite@latest my-app -- --template react-ts');
await sandbox.exec('cd my-app && npm install && npm run dev');

// Get the dev URL
const url = await sandbox.getUrl({ port: 5173 });
console.log(`App running at: ${url}`);

// Pause when done (saves state, stops billing)
await sandbox.pause();
