| **Address**   | `https://api.hanzo.ai/v1/sandbox/{id}` |
| **Method**    | `GET`                                  |
| **Operation** | `get_sandbox_by_id`                    |
| **Auth**      | `Authorization: Bearer $HANZO_API_KEY` |

Returns one sandbox: its class, project, image, the runtime it was
given, its status and when its lease ends.

A sandbox is its lessee's and its org admins'. An id the caller does not hold —
another org's, or another member's — is the same 404 an unknown id gives.

| ------------- | ---- | --------------- | ------ | --------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------- |
| `actor`       | body | string          | —      | Actor is the subject who LEASED this sandbox — the validated caller of the act that took the lease, never a value a request supplied.                                                                                                                                                               |
| `class`       | body | string          | —      | Class is what the sandbox is FOR, and it decides the image, the working directory and the isolation: "exec" for a code-interpreter call (workdir /mnt/data, no project, bounded per org), "dev" for a workspace bound to a project (workdir /work, single-attach), "desktop" for one with a screen. |
| `cluster`     | body | string          | —      | Cluster is the attached cluster this sandbox runs on — the fleet-local name the lease named — or empty for the home cluster.                                                                                                                                                                        |
| `connectedAt` | body | integer (int64) | —      | ConnectedAt is when somebody was last known to have this sandbox's project OPEN, Unix seconds.                                                                                                                                                                                                      |
| `createdAt`   | body | integer (int64) | —      | CreatedAt is when the lease was taken, Unix seconds — by the lease that made the sandbox, and again by each resume, which gives a parked sandbox a new pod on a new lease.                                                                                                                          |
| `error`       | body | string          | —      | Error is why the sandbox could not come up, in plain words.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| `expiresAt`   | body | integer (int64) | —      | ExpiresAt is when the lease ends, Unix seconds.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| `id`          | body | string          | —      | ID is the sandbox's server-minted handle and what every operation addresses it by.                                                                                                                                                                                                                  |
| `image`       | body | string          | —      | Image is the container image this sandbox is actually running — the one the class chose, or an override the policy admitted.                                                                                                                                                                        |
| `kind`        | body | string          | —      | Kind is the resource family this row belongs to.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| `lastUsedAt`  | body | integer (int64) | —      | LastUsedAt is when the sandbox last did work, Unix seconds.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                         |
| `org`         | body | string          | —      | Org is the org that holds the lease — the validated caller's, never a value a request supplied.                                                                                                                                                                                                     |
| `project`     | body | string          | —      | Project is the project this sandbox is bound to.                                                                                                                                                                                                                                                    |
| `runtime`     | body | string          | —      | Runtime is the isolation boundary this sandbox GOT, which is not always the one it asked for: a caller states a preference and runtimeFor answers with what the sandbox can actually have.                                                                                                          |
| `status`      | body | string          | —      | Status is where the sandbox is in its life: "pending" while the pod is coming up, "running" once it can take work, "error" when it cannot, and "parked" when its pod is stopped and its disk kept, until a resume.                                                                                  |
| `volume`      | body | string          | —      | Volume is the persistent volume attached to the sandbox, when it has one.                                                                                                                                                                                                                           |

if err != nil {
	return err
