Agno published v3.1.4 on October 16, 2026. The update moves the complete Claude or Codex harness into a per-session sandbox rather than running it on the application host.
What changed
- Two sandbox providers:
ClaudeAgentandCodexAgentaccept asandboxparameter using customer-operatedDockerSandboxor Amazon BedrockAgentCoreSandbox. - Recoverable execution state: checkpoints preserve the workspace and native conversation files. Failed or cancelled turns retain the previous recovery point; a missing native conversation stops restoration before model execution.
- Warm sessions: the default retention window is 300 seconds. Docker pauses the computer; AgentCore leaves it idle. A checkpoint is still captured after each completed turn.
- AgentOS integration: sandbox runs use the existing durable queue, reconnect and cancellation routes. Postgres coordination is required, and queue workers cannot use the default host-local checkpoint store.
These are the maintainers' release claims, not an independent sandbox security or performance assessment.
Where it fits
Agno's service guide describes AgentOS as the layer around a harness: it provides orchestration, authentication, streaming, session storage and background execution on infrastructure the operator controls. The application remains responsible for users, permissions and business operations. The guide recommends idempotent state-changing tools and testing multi-replica recovery with shared storage.
License and cost
The license included in this release is Apache-2.0. That is the repository's software license, not a promise of free model inference or sandbox infrastructure. No prices for those services are quoted in the release notes.

Questions
What is Agno?
According to its documentation, Agno helps companies run agents as a service. You build agents with the Agno SDK, Claude Agent SDK, Codex SDK or another supported framework. Agno then runs them as a service with durable execution and multi-replica scaling, exposed through a REST API and an MCP server.
Is Agno open source?
The GitHub API reports the Apache-2.0 license for the agno-agi/agno repository. The cited sources do not give pricing for any hosted offering.
Does Agno support MCP?
Yes. The documentation says Agno exposes agents through a REST API and an MCP server, which lets you make a product available in AI apps such as Claude and ChatGPT. The docs can also be given to coding agents through MCP.
