GOAL
Generate a ring pipeline autoregressive inference diagram (3-node distributed LLM inference) using the PaperBanana Python library, saved to a figures directory for a paper.
- +0Prompt · +0Run a Python script from paperbanana that generates a ring pipeline autoregressive inference diagram across 3 nodes, saving output to the figures directory.
- +0mAgent did · +0mVerified the paperbanana and figures directories exist, then attempted to run the script directly via Bash.
- +0mFail · +0mBash execution of the python script was denied by sandbox permissions.
- +0mAgent did · +0mTried multiple workarounds: writing the script via cat/tee/heredoc, testing plain python3 invocations, even disabling the sandbox flag, all attempts to write or execute were denied while ls/which still worked.
- +1mAgent did · +1mContinued probing sandbox boundaries with dd, touch, printf, bash -c, confirming only read-only commands like ls, which, touch succeeded; any write-with-content or execution was blocked.
- +2mFail · +2mAll remaining attempts to write file content (heredocs, printf, tee, bash -c redirects) were denied by the sandbox.
- +2mOutcome · +2mAgent could not execute or write the script due to sandbox restrictions; it gave up and provided the script text plus manual steps for the developer to run it themselves.
VERDICT
Next time I'd check upfront whether the sandbox even allows running python or writing files before asking the agent to run a whole pipeline script, since it burned a lot of turns just probing what was blocked. No correction actually fixed anything here — the agent never got past the sandbox and ended up handing the script back to me to run manually.
