Tangle
What it is
Tangle runs AI agents inside isolated Linux sandboxes and records their activity for human review before changes are approved. Its Sandbox provides shell access, files, ports, a desktop, and trace capture through an SDK and CLI. Named supported agents include Claude Code, Codex, OpenCode, Hermes, OpenClaw, NanoClaw, Kimi Code, and Pi. Run records show model calls, tool use, timing, token counts, and cost after completion. Tangle Intelligence analyzes multiple runs for repeated failures and costly steps, then findings can become a pull request, issue, skill proposal, or team summary. Tangle Router offers one inference API for OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs or plain fetch, and says it routes to 66+ providers. The free plan costs nothing but includes no credit; paid plans start at $29/mo. Hosted assistants remain a preview.
For and against
For
- Isolated Linux sandboxes with trace capture
- Records calls, tools, timing, tokens, and cost
- Analyzes multiple runs for recurring failures
- Router supports OpenAI and Anthropic SDKs
- Includes tool-call checks and regression runs
Against
- Free plan includes no model-use credit
- Prepaid credit is required before using AI models
- Hosted assistants are still a preview
- Two dedicated hosts lack full-disk encryption
The verdict
Tangle focuses on controlled agent runs, detailed traces, and human approval workflows. Its free tier has no included credit, while hosted assistants and one disclosed encryption gap remain limitations.
Who it suits
It suits teams that need isolated agent execution, trace records, and reviewable outputs. Developers can use its API, CLI, SDK, or Linux environments.
