doctl agents selects a sandbox image with --template
Introduced 2026-10-01 · score 0.92
HOW TO USE IT
When creating an agent with doctl v1.176.0, use `--template` to select the sandbox image; use `--template sandbox` to create a sandbox without an agent. The official documentation found does not provide the command’s full invocation.
WHY THIS HELPS
Create an agent using a specified sandbox image or a sandbox without an agent.
REQUIREMENTS AND LIMITATIONS
- Version: v1.176.0
- Docs conflict: The current official doctl reference documents `doctl harness-runtime create` and manifest-based sessions, not the card’s `doctl agents` interface: https://docs.digitalocean.com/reference/doctl/reference/harness-runtime/create/
