# Daytona

> Use Dayton with Agno agents.

Daytona enables Agno agents to run Agent-generated code in a remote, secure sandbox.

## Prerequisites

1. Get your Daytona API key and API URL: [https://app.daytona.io/dashboard/keys](https://app.daytona.io/dashboard/keys)
2. Set the API key and API URL as environment variables:
   ```bash theme={null}
   export DAYTONA_API_KEY=<your_api_key>
   export DAYTONA_API_URL=<your_api_url> #(optional)
   ```
3. Install the dependencies:
   `uv pip install agno anthropic daytona`

```python theme={null}

from agno.agent import Agent
from agno.tools.daytona import DaytonaTools

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Create Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------


agent = Agent(
    name="Coding Agent with Daytona tools",
    tools=[DaytonaTools()],
    markdown=True,
    instructions=[
        "You are an expert at writing and executing code. You have access to a remote, secure Daytona sandbox.",
        "Your primary purpose is to:",
        "1. Write clear, efficient code based on user requests",
        "2. ALWAYS execute the code in the Daytona sandbox using run_code",
        "3. Show the actual execution results to the user",
        "4. Provide explanations of how the code works and what the output means",
        "Guidelines:",
        "- NEVER just provide code without executing it",
        "- Execute all code using the run_code tool to show real results",
        "- Support Python, JavaScript, and TypeScript execution",
        "- Use file operations (create_file, read_file) when working with scripts",
        "- Install missing packages when needed using run_shell_command",
        "- Always show both the code AND the execution output",
        "- Handle errors gracefully and explain any issues encountered",
    ],
)

# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
# Run Agent
# ---------------------------------------------------------------------------
if __name__ == "__main__":
    agent.print_response(
        "Write JavaScript code to generate 10 random numbers between 1 and 100, sort them in ascending order, and print each number"
    )
```

## Run the Example

```bash theme={null}
# Clone and setup repo
git clone https://github.com/agno-agi/agno.git
cd agno/cookbook/91_tools

# Create and activate virtual environment
./scripts/demo_setup.sh
source .venvs/demo/bin/activate

python daytona_tools.py
```
