GOAL
Run a Python script using the PaperBanana framework to generate a matplotlib throughput comparison figure (PDF/PNG) for a research paper on HyperCluster distributed LLM inference.
- +0Prompt · +0Run a Python script that uses PaperBanana to generate a throughput scaling comparison figure (PDF+PNG at 300 DPI) into the Euro_Par_Hypercluster figures directory.
- +0mAgent did · +0mCreated output directory, then tried running the script via heredoc from the paperbanana directory, but Bash execution was denied by the sandbox.
- +0mFail · +0mSandbox denied permission to run the python3 script from the paperbanana directory.
- +0mAgent did · +0mTried an alternative approach piping the script through /dev/stdin, again blocked by the sandbox permission system.
- +0mFail · +0mSecond attempt also denied by sandbox Bash permissions.
- +0mAgent did · +0mExplored directory structure and checked paperbanana.py contents and python interpreter path (venv python3.11.11), confirming the environment and script exist correctly.
- +1mAgent did · +1mTried explicitly invoking the venv's python3 binary directly, but this was also denied by the sandbox.
- +1mFail · +1mThird execution attempt using the venv python3 binary directly was still denied.
- +1mOutcome · +1mAgent gave up executing the script, explaining sandbox restrictions block running Python that imports external modules and makes API calls; no figure was generated.
VERDICT
Next time I'd check upfront whether the sandbox even allows Bash execution of scripts that hit external APIs, since none of the three approaches (heredoc, /dev/stdin, direct venv binary) got past the permission wall. I never actually intervened here — the agent just kept hitting the same sandbox denial until it gave up and explained the limitation instead of producing the figure.
