# Get Sandbox

`GET /sandboxes/{sandbox_id}`

Return the current state of a sandbox.

A sandbox not owned by this API process yields a 404.

## Path parameters

- `sandbox_id` string, required

## Response `200`

Successful Response

- SandboxResponse — A sandbox's public, client-safe state. Host-internal details (disk paths, PID, network device) are intentionally omitted — clients address a sandbox only by ``id``.
  - `id` string, required — Stable sandbox identifier.
  - `status` 'created' | 'running' | 'paused' | 'stopped' | 'error', required — VM lifecycle states.

## Other responses

- `404` — No sandbox with that id exists on the host.
- `409` — The sandbox exists but could not be reconnected.
- `422` — Validation Error
