Tangle runs AI agents in isolated Linux sandboxes and records their work for people to review before approving changes.
What Tangle is
Tangle runs AI agents in isolated Linux sandboxes and records their work for people to review before approving changes. Its Sandbox provides shell access, files, ports, a desktop, and trace capture through an SDK and CLI. The site names Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, OpenClaw, NanoClaw, Kimi Code, and Pi as supported agents. Run records capture model calls, tool use, timing, tokens, and cost. Tangle Intelligence can analyze multiple runs for recurring failures and expensive steps, then findings can be prepared as a pull request, issue, skill proposal, or team summary for human review. Tangle Router provides a single model inference API, supports the OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs as well as plain fetch, and says it routes to 66+ providers. Router uses pay-as-you-go credits with no subscription required. Tangle offers a free plan with no included credit, so prepaid credit is needed before using AI models; paid plans start at $29/mo. Its security page describes TLS in transit and encryption at rest for managed stores and Restic backups, while disclosing that two self-managed dedicated hosts lack full-disk encryption.
Good
- Sandbox includes shell, files, ports, desktop, and trace capture
- Records model calls, tool use, timing, tokens, and cost
- Analyzes multiple runs for recurring failures and expensive steps
- Router supports OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs
- Free plan available
Watch out
- Free plan includes no credit for AI models
- Two self-managed hosts lack full-disk encryption
- Hosted assistants are a preview with key flows unverified
Who it suits
It suits teams that want to run supported AI agents in isolated Linux environments and inspect their activity before approving changes. The recorded run data and analysis may also suit teams reviewing recurring failures or costly steps.
Verdict
Tangle combines isolated agent runs, reviewable records, run analysis, and a multi-provider model router. Note the prepaid-credit requirement on the free plan and the disclosed encryption gap on two dedicated hosts.
