# Sandbox Environment Usage
To complete LLM code capability evaluation, we need to set up an independent evaluation environment to avoid executing erroneous code in the development environment and causing unavoidable losses. Currently, EvalScope has integrated the [ms-enclave](https://github.com/modelscope/ms-enclave) sandbox environment, allowing users to evaluate model code capabilities in a controlled environment, such as using evaluation benchmarks like HumanEval and LiveCodeBench.
The following introduces two different sandbox usage methods:
- Local usage: Set up the sandbox environment on a local machine and conduct evaluation locally, requiring Docker support on the local machine;
- Remote usage: Set up the sandbox environment on a remote server and conduct evaluation through API interfaces, requiring Docker support on the remote machine.
```{tip}
- The default **sandbox environment configuration** for datasets can be viewed in the dataset configuration, such as [HumanEval](../benchmarks/humaneval.md).
- The **number of sandbox worker processes** needs to be adjusted according to the resource situation of the local machine. It is recommended to set it to no more than half of the local CPU cores. For example, if the local machine has 8 CPU cores, it is recommended to set it to 4. Especially for multi-language images (`volcengine/sandbox-fusion`), which consume more resources, it is recommended to appropriately reduce the number of worker processes.
- The same sandbox infrastructure also powers `environment='docker'` in [Agent Evaluation](agent/index.md); fields such as `image` / `timeout` can be reused in `agent_config.environment_extra`.
```
## 0. Unified Sandbox Configuration
EvalScope manages sandbox settings via the nested field `TaskConfig.sandbox` (mapped to `SandboxTaskConfig`).
`SandboxTaskConfig` fields:
| Field | Type | Description | Default |
|-------|------|-------------|---------|
| `enabled` | `bool` | Whether to enable the sandbox | `false` |
| `engine` | `str` | Sandbox engine: `docker` / `volcengine`, etc. | `docker` |
| `default_config` | `dict` | Task-level sandbox config; merged with `BenchmarkMeta.sandbox_config`, and used as the default per-sample environment config in Agent mode | `{}` |
| `manager_config` | `dict` | Forwarded to the ms_enclave manager (e.g. `base_url` for remote docker, volcengine credentials) | `{}` |
| `pool_size` | `int \| None` | Warmup pool size for pooled execution; falls back to `eval_batch_size` when `None` | `None` |
`sandbox` accepts both a `SandboxTaskConfig` instance and an equivalent dict — the two forms behave identically:
```python
from evalscope.config import SandboxTaskConfig
# Option A: use SandboxTaskConfig (recommended; type hints available)
TaskConfig(
sandbox=SandboxTaskConfig(
enabled=True,
engine='docker',
manager_config={'base_url': 'http://remote:1234'},
),
)
# Option B: pass a plain dict
TaskConfig(
sandbox={
'enabled': True,
'engine': 'docker',
'manager_config': {'base_url': 'http://remote:1234'},
},
)
```
## 1. Local Usage
Use Docker to set up a sandbox environment on a local machine and conduct evaluation locally, requiring Docker support on the local machine.
### Environment Setup
1. **Install Docker**: Please ensure Docker is installed on your machine. You can download and install Docker from the [Docker official website](https://www.docker.com/get-started).
2. **Install sandbox environment dependencies**: Install packages like `ms-enclave` in your local Python environment:
```bash
pip install evalscope[sandbox]
```
### Parameter Configuration
Use the `sandbox` field on `TaskConfig` to enable the sandbox; other parameters remain the same as regular evaluations:
Here's a complete example code for model evaluation on HumanEval:
```python
from dotenv import dotenv_values
env = dotenv_values('.env')
from evalscope import TaskConfig, run_task
task_config = TaskConfig(
model='qwen-plus',
datasets=['humaneval'],
api_url='https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1',
api_key=env.get('DASHSCOPE_API_KEY'),
eval_type='openai_api',
eval_batch_size=5,
limit=5,
generation_config={
'max_tokens': 4096,
'temperature': 0.0,
'seed': 42,
},
sandbox={
'enabled': True, # enable sandbox
'engine': 'docker', # specify sandbox engine
},
)
run_task(task_config)
```
During model evaluation, EvalScope will automatically start and manage the sandbox environment, ensuring code runs in an isolated environment. The console will display output like:
```text
[INFO:ms_enclave] Local sandbox manager started
...
```
## 2. Remote Usage
Set up the sandbox environment on a remote server and conduct evaluation through API interfaces, requiring Docker support on the remote machine.
### Environment Setup
You need to install and configure separately on both the remote machine and local machine.
#### Remote Machine
The environment installation on the remote machine is similar to the local usage method described above:
1. **Install Docker**: Please ensure Docker is installed on your machine. You can download and install Docker from the [Docker official website](https://www.docker.com/get-started).
2. **Install sandbox environment dependencies**: Install packages like `ms-enclave` in remote Python environment:
```bash
pip install evalscope[sandbox]
```
3. **Start sandbox server**: Run the following command to start the sandbox server:
```bash
ms-enclave server --host 0.0.0.0 --port 1234
```
#### Local Machine
The local machine does not need Docker installation at this point, but needs to install EvalScope:
```bash
pip install evalscope[sandbox]
```
### Parameter Configuration
Use the `sandbox` field on `TaskConfig` to enable the sandbox, and specify the remote sandbox server's API address in `manager_config`:
Complete example code is as follows:
```python
from dotenv import dotenv_values
env = dotenv_values('.env')
from evalscope import TaskConfig, run_task
task_config = TaskConfig(
model='qwen-plus',
datasets=['humaneval'],
api_url='https://dashscope.aliyuncs.com/compatible-mode/v1',
api_key=env.get('DASHSCOPE_API_KEY'),
eval_type='openai_api',
eval_batch_size=5,
limit=5,
generation_config={
'max_tokens': 4096,
'temperature': 0.0,
'seed': 42,
},
sandbox={
'enabled': True, # enable sandbox
'engine': 'docker', # specify sandbox engine
'manager_config': {
'base_url': 'http://<remote_host>:1234' # remote sandbox manager URL
},
},
)
run_task(task_config)
```
During model evaluation, EvalScope will communicate with the remote sandbox server through API, ensuring code runs in an isolated environment. The console will display output like:
```text
[INFO:ms_enclave] HTTP sandbox manager started, connected to http://<remote_host>:1234
...
```
## 3. Additional Supported Sandbox
### Using VolcEngine Sandbox Environment
EvalScope also supports using the [VolcEngine Sandbox Environment](https://bytedance.github.io/SandboxFusion/docs/docs/get-started/). Users can choose to use the sandbox images provided by VolcEngine for code evaluation.
1. **Install Docker**: Please ensure that Docker is installed on your machine. You can download and install Docker from the [Docker official website](https://www.docker.com/get-started).
2. **Start VolcEngine Sandbox Server**:
Use the following command to start the VolcEngine sandbox server:
```bash
docker run -it -p 8080:8080 vemlp-cn-beijing.cr.volces.com/preset-images/code-sandbox:server-20250609
```
3. **Configure Evaluation Parameters**:
When using the VolcEngine sandbox environment, set the `engine` parameter to `volcengine`, and ensure that the VolcEngine sandbox server has been installed and is running on the remote machine.
```python
...
sandbox={
'enabled': True, # Enable sandbox
'engine': 'volcengine', # Use the VolcEngine sandbox
'manager_config': {
'base_url': 'http://<remote_host>:8080', # Remote VolcEngine sandbox manager URL
'dataset_language_map': { # Optional, specify programming languages for datasets
'r': 'R',
'd_ut': 'D_ut',
'ts': 'typescript',
},
},
},
...
```
Console output will be as follows:
```text
