The `sandbox-agent api` subcommand mirrors the HTTP API so you can script everything without writing client code.

## Server flags

```bash
sandbox-agent server --token "$SANDBOX_TOKEN" --host 127.0.0.1 --port 2468
```

- `--token`: global token for all requests.
- `--no-token`: disable auth (local dev only).
- `--host`, `--port`: bind address.
- `--cors-allow-origin`, `--cors-allow-method`, `--cors-allow-header`, `--cors-allow-credentials`: configure CORS.
- `--no-telemetry`: disable anonymous telemetry.
