Summary

Start a Daytona sandbox by ID, then optionally poll until it reaches the started state. Waiting is enabled by default; disable it to return the sandbox’s current state immediately after the start request.

Inputs

  • Sandbox ID (required) — ID of the sandbox to start.
  • Wait Until Started — Whether to poll for the started state before returning. Defaults to true.
  • Wait Timeout (Seconds) — Maximum polling time when waiting is enabled; defaults to 60 seconds and accepts 1–600 seconds.

Output shape

A single item whose JSON contains the sandbox record.

When waiting is enabled, returns the record observed in the started state. When disabled, fetches and returns the sandbox’s current record immediately after requesting the start.
