Set Sandbox Timeout
Tool to set the timeout for an E2B sandbox. Use when you need to extend or reduce the sandbox lifetime. The timeout is measured from the current time, and calling this multiple times overwrites the previous TTL.
Why this helps
Sandbox timeouts are easy to forget when deadlines change inside a task list.
- Match runtime to planned work
- Prevent avoidable expiry
- Make deadline changes actionable
