E2B to Vakna: SDK calls and vakna commands

This page is generated from a mock CLI, and its numbers are placeholders.

Verified against vakna 0.0.0-mock on 2026-10-20

Each E2B SDK call maps to one vakna command below. Their calls are from their public docs, checked on 20 October 2026, with the page for each. Vakna is a CLI; they are SDKs, so a row maps a call to a command, not a function to a function.

Which vakna command replaces each E2B call?

E2B (TypeScript SDK)	vakna
`Sandbox.create({ timeoutMs })` (docs)	`vakna create`
`sandbox.commands.run('ls -l')` (docs)	`vakna shell <box> -- ls -l`
`Sandbox.list(...)` with a paginator (docs)	`vakna list`
`sandbox.kill()` (docs)	`vakna delete <box>`
`sbx.pause()`, then `Sandbox.connect(id)` to resume (docs)	`vakna suspend <box>`, `vakna resume <box>`
`sandbox.createSnapshot()`, then `Sandbox.create(snapshotId)` (docs)	`vakna snapshot <box>`, `vakna fork <box> --count <n> -- <command>`
`Sandbox.create({ network: { allowOut: [...] } })`, `sandbox.updateNetwork()` (docs)	`vakna net allow <host>`
`sandbox.files.write(path, content)` (docs)	`tar c . \| vakna shell <box> -- tar x`
`Sandbox.connect(sandboxId)` (docs)	address the box by name or id in any command

What has no equivalent in Vakna?

A timeout set per sandbox: timeoutMs and sandbox.setTimeout() (docs). Boxes have no lifetime option yet.
A public URL for a port: sandbox.getHost(3000) (docs).
Templates built in code with Template() (docs).

Where does E2B do more?

Desktop sandboxes for computer use: pointer, keys and screenshots (docs).
A code interpreter SDK with runCode, Jupyter style (docs).
SDKs for TypeScript and Python, and an EU region and bring-your-own-cloud, per its index (llms.txt).

What does Vakna do that E2B's docs don't show?

One command forks a box many times and returns one receipt with failures grouped by signature.
Every box starts in lockdown, and a blocked host's error names the command that allows it.
