"killed": true
}Sets the sandbox state to
killed and instructs the orchestrator to terminate the
VM. This action is irreversible — all in-memory state and filesystem contents are
lost. Returns { "killed": true } on success.
Killing a sandbox destroys all data inside the VM. If you need to preserve the
state, create a snapshot first.
Path Parameters
string
required
The sandbox identifier. Format:
sbx-<8 chars>.Example: sbx-a1b2c3d4Response
boolean
Always
true when the sandbox was found and the kill was dispatched.Example
curl -X DELETE https://api.declaw.ai/sandboxes/sbx-a1b2c3d4 \
-H "X-API-Key: YOUR_API_KEY"
from declaw import Sandbox
sbx = Sandbox.connect("sbx-a1b2c3d4", api_key="YOUR_API_KEY", domain="api.declaw.ai")
sbx.kill()
import { Sandbox } from "@declaw/sdk";
const sbx = await Sandbox.connect("sbx-a1b2c3d4", {
apiKey: "YOUR_API_KEY",
domain: "api.declaw.ai",
});
await sbx.kill();
Response
{
"killed": true
}
The SDK
kill() method wraps this endpoint. Always call it in a try/finally
block to avoid leaving orphaned sandboxes running.Error Responses
| Status | Cause |
|---|---|
401 | Missing or invalid API key |
404 | Sandbox not found |
