Test and prototype code in a sandboxed environment. Use for debugging, verifying logic, or installing packages.
# Code Interpreter A general-purpose code execution environment powered by AWS Bedrock AgentCore Code Interpreter. Run code, execute shell commands, and manage files in a secure sandbox. ## Available Tools - **execute_code(code, language, output_filename)**: Execute Python, JavaScript, or TypeScript code. - **execute_command(command)**: Execute shell commands. - **file_operations(operation, paths, content)**: Read, write, list, or remove files in the sandbox. - **ci_push_to_workspace(paths)**: Save sandbox files to the shared workspace (S3). Omit `paths` to save all files in the sandbox root. ## Tool Parameters ### execute_code | Parameter | Type | Required | Default | Description | |-----------|------|----------|---------|-------------| | `code` | string | Yes | | Code to execute. Use `print()` for text output. | | `language` | string | No | `"python"` | `"python"`, `"javascript"`, or `"typescript"` | | `output_filename` | string | No | `""` | File to download after execution. Code must save a file with this exact name. Saved to workspace automatically. | ### execute_command | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `command` | string | Yes | Shell command to execute (e.g., `"ls -la"`, `"pip install requests"`). | ### file_operations | Parameter | Type | Required | Description | |-----------|------|----------|-------------| | `operation` | string | Yes | `"read"`, `"write"`, `"list"`, or `"remove"` | | `paths` | list | For read/list/remove | File paths. read: `["file.txt"]`, list: `["."]`, remove: `["old.txt"]` | | `content` | list | For write | Entries with `path` and `text`: `[{"path": "out.txt", "text": "hello"}]` | ## tool_input Examples ### execute_code — text output ```json { "code": "import pandas as pd\ndf = pd.DataFrame({'A': [1,2,3], 'B': [4,5,6]})\nprint(df.describe())", "language": "python" } ``` ### execute_code — generate chart ```json { "code": "import matplotlib\nmatplotlib.use('Agg')\nimport matplotlib.pyplot as plt\nimport numpy as np\nx = np.linspace(0, 10, 100)\nplt.figure(figsize=(10,6))\nplt.plot(x, np.sin(x))\nplt.title('Sine Wave')\nplt.savefig('sine.png', dpi=300, bbox_inches='tight')\nprint('Done')", "language": "python", "output_filename": "sine.png" } ``` ### execute_command — install a package ```json { "command": "pip install yfinance" } ``` ### execute_command — check environment ```json { "command": "python --version && pip list | head -20" } ``` ### file_operations — write a file ```json { "operation": "write", "content": [{"path": "config.json", "text": "{\"key\": \"value\"}"}] } ``` ### file_operations — list files ```json { "operation": "list", "paths": ["."] } ``` ### file_operations — read a file ```json { "operation": "read", "paths": ["output.csv"] } ``` ## When to Use This Skill Use code-interpreter as a **sandbox for testing and prototyping code**. For production tasks (creating documents, charts, presentations), prefer specialized skills. **Do NOT use for:** - Formatting or displaying code examples (respond directly with markdown code blocks) - Explaining code or algorithms (respond directly with text) - Simple calculations you can do mentally (just provide the answer) - Any task that doesn't require actual code execution | Task | Recommended Skill | Notes | |------|-------------------|-------| | Create charts/diagrams | **visual-design** | Use this first for production charts | | Create Word documents | **word-documents** | Has template support and styling | | Create Excel spreadsheets | **excel-spreadsheets** | Has formatting pipeline and validation | | Create PowerPoint | **powerpoint-presentations** | Has layout system and design patterns | | **Test code snippets** | **code-interpreter** | Debug, verify logic, check output | | **Prototype algorithms** | **code-interpreter** | Experiment before implementing | | **Install/test packages** | **code-interpreter** | Check compatibility, test APIs | | Debug code logic | code-interpreter | Isolate and test specific functions | | Verify calculations | code-interpreter | Quick math or data checks | ## Code Interpreter vs Code Agent | | Code Interpreter | Code Agent | |---|---|---| | **Nature** | Sandboxed execution environment | Autonomous agent (Claude Code) | | **Best for** | Quick scripts, data analysis, prototyping | Multi-file projects, refactoring, test suites | | **File persistence** | Only when `output_filename` is set | All files auto-synced to S3 | | **Session state** | Variables persist within session | Files + conversation persist across sessions | | **Autonomy** | You write the code | Agent plans, writes, runs, and iterates | | **Use when** | You need to run a specific piece of code | You need an engineer to solve a problem end-to-end | ## Workspace Integration All files go to the `code-interpreter/` namespace — a flat, session-isolated space separate from office documents. **Sandbox → Workspace (save outputs):** ```json // Save a specific file after execution { "tool": "ci_push_to_workspace", "paths": ["chart.png", "results.json"] } // Save everything in the sandbox root { "tool": "ci_push_to_workspace" } // Alternative: save a single file inline during execute_code { "tool": "execute_code", "output_filename": "chart.png", "code": "..." } ``` **Uploaded files (auto-preloaded):** Files uploaded by the user (e.g. ZIP archives) are automatically available in the sandbox — no manual loading needed. Just use them directly in `execute_code`. **Read saved files via workspace skill:** ``` workspace_read("code-interpreter/chart.png") workspace_read("code-interpreter/results.json") workspace_list("code-interpreter/") ``` > Text files (`.py`, `.csv`, `.json`, `.txt`, etc.) are transferred as-is. > Binary files (`.png`, `.pdf`, `.xlsx`, etc.) are handled via base64 encoding automatically. ## Environment - **Languages:** Python (recommended, 200+ libraries), JavaScript, TypeScript - **Shell:** Full shell access via `execute_command` - **File system:** Persistent within session; use `file_operations` to manage files - **Session state:** Variables and files persist across multiple calls within the same session - **Network:** Internet access available (can use `requests`, `urllib`, `curl`) ## Supported Languages - **Python** (recommended) — 200+ pre-installed libraries covering data science, ML, visualization, file processing - **JavaScript** — Node.js runtime, useful for JSON manipulation, async operations - **TypeScript** — TypeScript runtime with type checking ## Pre-installed Python Libraries ### Data Analysis & Visualization | Library | Common Use | |---------|------------| | `pandas` | DataFrames, CSV/Excel I/O, groupby, pivot | | `numpy` | Arrays, linear algebra, random, statistics | | `matplotlib` | Line, bar, scatter, histogram, subplots | | `plotly` | Interactive charts, 3D plots | | `bokeh` | Interactive visualization | | `scipy` | Optimization, interpolation, signal processing | | `statsmodels` | Regression, time series, hypothesis tests | | `sympy` | Algebra, calculus, equation solving | ### Machine Learning & AI | Library | Common Use | |---------|------------| | `scikit-learn` | Classification, regression, clustering, pipelines | | `torch` / `torchvision` / `torchaudio` | Deep learning, computer vision, audio | | `xgboost` | High-performance gradient boosting | | `spacy` / `nltk` / `textblob` | NLP, tokenization, NER, sentiment | | `scikit-image` | Image processing, filters, segmentation | ### Mathematical & Optimization | Library | Common Use | |---------|------------| | `cvxpy` | Convex optimization, portfolio optimization | | `ortools` | Scheduling, routing, constraint programming | | `pulp` | Linear programming | | `z3-solver` | SAT solving, formal verification | | `networkx` / `igraph` | Graph algorithms, network analysis | ### File Processing & Documents | Library | Common Use | |---------|------------| | `openpyxl` / `xlrd` / `XlsxWriter` | Excel read/write with formatting | | `python-docx` | Word document creation/modification | | `python-pptx` | PowerPoint creation/modification | | `PyPDF2` / `pdfplumber` / `reportlab` | PDF read/write/generate | | `lxml` / `beautifulsoup4` | XML/HTML parsing | | `markitdown` | Convert various formats to Markdown | ### Image & Media | Library | Common Use | |---------|------------| | `pillow` (PIL) | Image resize, crop, filter, conversion | | `opencv-python` (cv2) | Computer vision, feature detection | | `imageio` / `moviepy` | Image/video I/O and editing | | `pydub` | Audio manipulation | | `svgwrite` / `Wand` | SVG creation, ImageMagick | ### Data Storage & Formats | Library | Common Use | |---------|------------| | `duckdb` | SQL queries on DataFrames and files | | `SQLAlchemy` | SQL ORM and database abstraction | | `pyarrow` | Parquet and Arrow format processing | | `orjson` / `ujson` / `PyYAML` | Fast JSON/YAML parsing | ### Web & API | Library | Common Use | |---------|------------| | `requests` / `httpx` | HTTP requests, API calls | | `beautifulsoup4` | Web scraping | | `fastapi` / `Flask` / `Django` | Web frameworks | ### Utilities | Library | Common Use | |---------|------------| | `pydantic` | Data validation, schema definition |
