Console Toolset

The console toolset provides file operation tools for pydantic-ai agents:

Python
from pydantic_deep import create_console_toolset, LocalBackend, DeepAgentDeps

toolset = create_console_toolset()
backend = LocalBackend(root_dir=".")
deps = DeepAgentDeps(backend=backend)

See Console Toolset docs for details.

SessionManager

For multi-user applications with isolated Docker sandboxes:

Python
from pydantic_deep import SessionManager

manager = SessionManager(
    default_runtime="python-datascience",
    workspace_root="/app/workspaces",
)

sandbox = await manager.get_or_create(user_id="alice")

See Docker docs for details.
