Documents the agent sandbox from P1 to P4. An agent gets a token and an Agent sandbox organization with one call, deploys, and hands a person a claim link. Stacks on #2196 (P4 teardown).
docs/user/account/try-without-an-account.md (new). A how-to: call POST /api/agent/signup, export PLOYZ_TOKEN, add a server, deploy, and hand over the claimUrl. A signed-out person keeps the sandbox on their return from GitHub; a signed-in person clicks Keep this Organization. It lists the five actions that wait for a claim and says what happens to an unclaimed sandbox. A forgotten server keeps running its services and volume data, and the page links the cleanup steps in manage-servers.md.
docs/user/getting-started/introduction.md. The GitHub requirement now says an agent can start before you have an account.
docs/user/account/account.md. Says how to keep a sandbox an agent made for you. Only an unclaimed link says the sandbox expired.
docs/user/account/organizations.md. Covers the Agent sandbox organization, why its deploys skip approvals until someone keeps it, why billing waits, and when it removes itself.
core/site/agent.md. Step 3 tells an agent with no signed-in user to start in a sandbox and give the user the claim link. It sets PLOYZ_TOKEN=... on each ployz command, because a later shell loses an export. In a sandbox it skips ployz mcp login, which mints a token and so waits for a claim, and registers ployz mcp with PLOYZ_TOKEN, in Claude Code or Codex, replacing any old registration. The Claude form names the server before -e, since -e takes every value after it. Step 5 says the agent works in a sandbox and hands over the claimUrl.
core/crates/ployz-store/tests/snapshots/agent_tools.json. The docs tool lists every page, so the snapshot now names the new one.
docs/user/README.md. Lists the new page under Account. ployz-site builds the docs sidebar from this file, so without the row the page has no nav entry.
core/crates/ployz/src/handlers/verbs.rs. project new and service add now name the sandbox page with .docs(..). The test a_verb_the_docs_show_names_its_page requires it, and the new page is the first to show either verb.
The plan named docs/user/introduction.md and docs/user/organizations.md. Those paths don't exist, so the edits went to the real pages.

Describe teardown as scheduled cleanup, not a 15-minute deadline.
The cron runs every 15 minutes, but it only queues teardown. A sandbox with projects needs another event to remove the organization. A run waiting on an offline server relies on a later sweep. Cleanup can therefore finish more than 15 minutes after expiry. Replace the deadline with the scheduled-sweep behavior, and distinguish the one-hour forget threshold from the time the server is actually forgotten. (raw.githubusercontent.com)

Fixed in 2f3089620. The paragraph now says Ployz looks every 15 minutes and removes projects, then the organization, and that the next look from an hour past the end forgets a silent server. No deadline promised.

Make the sandbox path compatible with step 4.
If the sandbox is unclaimed, the later ployz mcp login command tries to create another token and fails with claim_required. The new path therefore cannot complete the page’s MCP setup as written.

Fixed in 2f3089620. Minting a token is gated (organization-token.server.ts requireClaimed mint_token), and ployz mcp acts with PLOYZ_TOKEN when it is set (mcp.rs agent()). The guide now skips ployz mcp login in a sandbox and registers the server with -e PLOYZ_TOKEN.
@nick-potts Thanks. The updated core/site/agent.md tells sandbox users to skip ployz mcp login and pass PLOYZ_TOKEN to the MCP process with -e. It also preserves the claim-link instructions. This addresses the finding.

Pass the sandbox token to Codex MCP.
Step 4 also supports Codex at Line 79, but this sandbox override gives only a Claude Code command. Codex’s current MCP launcher does not pass PLOYZ_TOKEN to the server unless the configuration explicitly includes it. Without the token, ployz mcp cannot access the sandbox.

Handle an existing Claude Code registration.
If ployz is already registered at user scope without the sandbox token, this command fails instead of replacing the entry. Claude Code rejects duplicate server names at the same scope. Line 80 then tells users to leave the existing entry unchanged, so the MCP process may not receive the sandbox token. Tell users to replace or update that entry before continuing. (code.claude.com)

✅ Confirmed as addressed by @nick-potts
Both fixed in ef4888e84. Step 4 offers Codex, and codex mcp add --env exists, so the note now gives the Codex line too. Step 4 says to leave an existing registration alone, which would keep one without the token, so the note now removes it first (claude mcp remove -s user ployz, codex mcp remove ployz). Both commands checked against their --help.
@nick-potts Both fixes are present in the supplied core/site/agent.md: the Codex command passes PLOYZ_TOKEN with --env, and the sandbox instructions remove existing Claude Code and Codex registrations before adding the token configuration. This addresses both findings.
