Code Interpreter
Teaches how to implement and configure the Code Interpreter tool, including managing sandboxed containers via auto and explicit modes, handling file uploads/downloads, and setting memory limits.
When To Use
Use when you need to enable a model to perform data analysis, execute Python code in a sandbox, or manage file-based workflows using specific memory configurations.

What This Skill Covers
- The Code Interpreter tool requires a container object. A container is a fully sandboxed virtual machine that the model can run Python code in. This container...
- Main sections:
Containers,Expiration,Work with files,Uploading and downloading files,Dealing with citations.
Workflow
- Open the most relevant file under
docs/for the exact documented workflow and wording. - Open
schemas/files for exact structured contracts. - Open
examples/files for concrete requests, commands, snippets, and manifests. - Do not add behavior or configuration that is not present in the attached source files.
