@tenkicloud/composio-tools

Tenki sandbox tools for Composio agents. Gives any Composio agent disposable Linux microVMs from Tenki — boot in ~2–4 seconds, run shell commands, snapshot state, and terminate — via Composio's custom toolkits.

The tools run in-process in your app and call the Tenki SDK directly. No extra backend, no Composio approval needed.

Install

npm install @tenkicloud/composio-tools @composio/core

@composio/core is a peer dependency (>= 0.13.0). Requires Node >= 18. ESM-only, matching @composio/core — from CommonJS use dynamic import(), or plain require() on Node >= 20.19.

Quickstart

import { Composio } from '@composio/core';
import { tenkiToolkit } from '@tenkicloud/composio-tools';

const composio = new Composio({ apiKey: process.env.COMPOSIO_API_KEY });

const session = await composio.create('user_1', {
  experimental: { customToolkits: [tenkiToolkit()] },
});

// The agent can now call:
//   LOCAL_TENKI_CREATE_SANDBOX
//   LOCAL_TENKI_EXEC_COMMAND
//   LOCAL_TENKI_LIST_SANDBOXES
//   LOCAL_TENKI_GET_SANDBOX
//   LOCAL_TENKI_CREATE_SNAPSHOT
//   LOCAL_TENKI_TERMINATE_SANDBOX

Note: toolkits bind via experimental.customToolkits (standalone tools use experimental.customTools).

Authentication: set TENKI_API_KEY in your environment (get one at app.tenki.cloud), or pass authToken explicitly. Workspace API keys infer the workspace automatically — no workspace or project configuration is needed.

Configuration

tenkiToolkit({
  authToken: 'tk_…',            // default: TENKI_API_KEY env var
  preload: true,                // expose tools in session.tools() without searching first
  bootTimeoutMs: 120_000,       // creation + readiness budget; failed boots are terminated, not leaked
  defaults: {                   // applied to CREATE_SANDBOX when the agent omits them
    cpuCores: 4,
    memoryMb: 8192,
    allowOutbound: true,
    maxDurationMs: 30 * 60_000, // hard backstop: VM self-terminates even if the host crashes
  },
});

Tools

Tool	Input	Returns
LOCAL_TENKI_CREATE_SANDBOX	name?, cpuCores?, memoryMb?, allowOutbound?, image?, snapshotId?, env? (array of {name, value}), maxDurationMinutes? (default 30)	sessionId, specs, state, bootTimeMs
LOCAL_TENKI_EXEC_COMMAND	sessionId, command, timeoutSeconds? (default 30, max 600)	exitCode, stdout, stderr, durationMs (output truncated ~12KB/4KB for LLM context)
LOCAL_TENKI_LIST_SANDBOXES	state? (filter)	count, sandboxes[] with id/name/state/specs
LOCAL_TENKI_GET_SANDBOX	sessionId	full detail incl. state, networking, expiry
LOCAL_TENKI_CREATE_SNAPSHOT	sessionId, name?	snapshotId (usable in CREATE_SANDBOX.snapshotId)
LOCAL_TENKI_TERMINATE_SANDBOX	sessionId	idempotent; alreadyTerminated flag

Behavior notes: every tool returns structured JSON and never throws — SDK errors come back as { success: false, error: { type, message } } so the agent can react. EXEC_COMMAND requires an existing sessionId (no implicit sandbox creation). Outbound internet is controlled by allowOutbound; when omitted, your Tenki workspace defaults apply — check outboundNetworking in the CREATE_SANDBOX response.

Lifecycle guarantees: CREATE_SANDBOX is failure-atomic — the session handle is held before waiting for readiness, so a boot that fails or exceeds bootTimeoutMs is terminated, never leaked. Every sandbox gets a max-duration backstop (default 30 min, override via maxDurationMinutes or defaults.maxDurationMs) so microVMs self-terminate even if the host process crashes before calling TERMINATE_SANDBOX. Readiness is detected by polling unary refresh() rather than the streaming waitReady() RPC, which some runtimes (e.g. Bun's node:http2) close prematurely.

Security

• TENKI_API_KEY grants control over your Tenki workspace — keep it in the host environment, never inside sandboxes.
• Tools run in-process in your application (the host you run the Composio session from), not on Composio's servers.
• The agent decides what commands to run; the sandbox is your isolation boundary. Set allowOutbound: false explicitly (per call or via defaults) if your workspace default is open and the task doesn't need network.

How it works

Custom tools are session-scoped: tenkiToolkit() returns a CustomToolkit whose execute functions run in your process and call the Tenki SDK. Composio prefixes the slugs (CREATE_SANDBOX → LOCAL_TENKI_CREATE_SANDBOX) and routes agent tool calls back to your process via session.execute(). Because execution is session-bound, drive these tools through the session object — provider.handleToolCalls() (global execute path) cannot reach them; see scripts/agent-test.ts for a working agentic loop.

Development

pnpm install
pnpm test          # vitest unit tests (Tenki SDK mocked — no network, no keys needed)
pnpm build         # tsup → dist/ (ESM + CJS + d.ts)
pnpm typecheck
pnpm format:check

Live verification (needs a .env with real keys — see the script headers):

pnpm smoke   # drives all six tools through a real Composio session: create → exec → snapshot → terminate
pnpm agent   # an LLM autonomously boots, inspects, and terminates a sandbox
             # (any OpenAI-compatible endpoint: set LLM_API_KEY + LLM_MODEL, optional LLM_BASE_URL)

Both scripts terminate every microVM they create (even on failure) and smoke deletes its test snapshot.
