Agent 37 Cloud vs Cloudflare Sandbox SDK
Cloudflare Sandbox SDK scores 67.5 (B) on agent readiness against Agent 37 Cloud's 46.1 (D), and leads in every scored category. Both do sandbox persist.
Which one, for what
Good for A product that gives each end user a long-lived agent machine that is idle most of the day and needs a harness preinstalled.
Also in its favour
- A hosted endpoint, with nothing to install
Watch for
No status page was found. status.agent37.com returns 404, and the terms promise no uptime level
Good for Agents already built on Workers and Durable Objects that want sandboxes in the same account with credential injection at the edge.

Also in its favour
- No key needed to call it

Watch for
No hosted API. You deploy and secure a Worker before an agent can call anything, and the starter has no auth

Verdicts
Agent 37 Cloud
Instances keep their disk until deleted, sleep when idle and wake on the next request, with compute published at $0.80 a vCPU-month and stable error codes on both APIs. The product launched on 29 September 2026. No status page, OpenAPI file, SDK library or published rate limits were found, and the starter credit needs a card.
Cloudflare Sandbox SDK
Each sandbox runs in its own VM with a separate filesystem, process space and network stack. No hosted API. You deploy and secure a Worker before an agent can call anything, and the starter has no auth.
Before you call either
Agent 37 Cloud
- Send the key as
Authorization: Bearerto api.agent37.com and asX-Agent37-Keyto the instance URL. The Bearer form on instance URLs is deprecated - Poll
GET /v1/healthon the instance URL for"healthy": truebefore the first message.status: runningonly means the machine is up - Check whether
erroris a string before readingerror.code. Transport errors are flat strings, and a failed turn returns 200 withstatus: "failed" - Don't blindly retry an exec that timed out after 13 minutes. The command keeps running, so a retry starts a second copy
- Set
auto_sleep: true, keep anything that must survive a sleep in a file, and allow a first-byte timeout of three minutes for wakes
Cloudflare Sandbox SDK
- Derive the sandbox ID from the authenticated user, as the docs advise. IDs aren't secrets
- Put API keys in an outbound handler in the Worker, not in the container's environment
- Set
enableInternet = falseor anallowedHostslist before running untrusted code. Internet access is on by default - Check that a restored backup has every directory you expect. Backups of 10 MB or more have open bugs
- Start new projects on 1.0. The 0.x library only gets fixes until 31 December 2026
