Starting a AgentCore Code Interpreter session

To start a Code Interpreter session using the Amazon CLI, use the start-code-interpreter-session command:

aws bedrock-agentcore start-code-interpreter-session \
  --region <Region> \
  --code-interpreter-id "<your-code-interpreter-id>" \
  --name "my-code-session" \
  --description "My Code Interpreter session for data analysis" \
  --session-timeout-seconds 900

To start a Code Interpreter session using the Amazon SDK for Python, use the start_code_interpreter_session method:

import boto3

# Initialize the boto3 client
dp_client = boto3.client(
    'bedrock-agentcore',
    region_name="<Region>",
    endpoint_url="https://bedrock-agentcore.<Region>.amazonaws.com"
)

# Start a Code Interpreter session
response = dp_client.start_code_interpreter_session(
    codeInterpreterIdentifier="aws.codeinterpreter.v1",
    name="sandbox-session-1",
    sessionTimeoutSeconds=3600
)

# Print the session ID
session_id = response["sessionId"]
print(f"Session created: {session_id}")

To start a new Code Interpreter session using the API, use the following call:

# Using awscurl
awscurl -X PUT \
  "https://bedrock-agentcore.<Region>.amazonaws.com/code-interpreters/aws.codeinterpreter.v1/sessions/start" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -H "Accept: application/json" \
  --service bedrock-agentcore \
  --region <Region> \
  -d '{
    "name": "code-session-abc12345",
    "description": "code sandbox session",
    "sessionTimeoutSeconds": 900
  }'
