The universal API normalizes different coding agents into a consistent interface. All agents have full native capabilities; this page shows what's exposed via the sandbox-agent API.

## Feature Descriptions
### Text Messages
Basic message exchange between user and assistant.
### Tool Calls & Results
Visibility into tool invocations (file reads, command execution, etc.) and their results. When not natively supported, tool activity is embedded in message content.
### Questions (HITL)
Interactive questions the agent asks the user. Emits `question.requested` and `question.resolved` events.
### Permissions (HITL)
Permission requests for sensitive operations. Emits `permission.requested` and `permission.resolved` events.
### Images
Support for image attachments in messages.
### File Attachments
Support for file attachments in messages.
### Session Lifecycle
Native `session.started` and `session.ended` events. When not supported, the daemon emits synthetic lifecycle events.
### Error Events
Structured error events for runtime failures.
### Reasoning/Thinking
Extended thinking or reasoning content with visibility controls.
### Command Execution
Detailed command execution events with stdout/stderr.
### File Changes
Structured file modification events with diffs.
### MCP Tools
Model Context Protocol tool support.
### Streaming Deltas
Native streaming of content deltas. When not supported, the daemon emits a single synthetic delta before `item.completed`.
## Synthetic Events
For features not natively supported, the daemon generates synthetic events to maintain a consistent event stream. Synthetic events have:
- `source: "daemon"`
- `synthetic: true`
This lets you build UIs that work with any agent without special-casing each provider.
## Request Support
