Core features

7 features from provider sources · checked on 9 October 2026. Availability and limits are listed below.

  • Code and tools in the SDK

    The SDK connects agents with Bash, file editing, browser tools and MCP.

    Source 2

  • Control sessions in Agent Canvas

    The browser surface combines agent sessions and control over ongoing work.

    Source 1

  • Run locally or in a sandbox

    Agent Canvas supports host execution and sandbox runtimes through Docker, virtual machines or cloud.

    Source 3

  • Start automations with triggers

    Schedules, webhooks and integrations can start recurring or event-driven agent work.

  • Extend agents through APIs

    The Python SDK and Agent Server with REST and WebSocket interfaces support custom applications and tools.

    Source 2

  • CLI and other ACP agents

    OpenHands provides a terminal interface. Agent Canvas can also run other agents through ACP.

    Source 3

  • Cloud integrations

    Cloud offerings connect agent workflows with Git providers, Slack and Jira; access depends on the plan.

Requirements and limits

  • Limitation

    Individual Cloud daily limit

    Individual Cloud is limited to one user and at most ten conversations per day. Model usage is paid separately or supplied through personal keys.

    Source 4

  • Limitation

    Host execution has host access

    Agents without a sandbox can access the host filesystem. Docker sandboxes isolate agent tools; the interface and automation service run outside that sandbox.

    Source 3

  • Limitation

    Parallel work requires separate working states

    Multiple Docker conversations can use the same workspace directory. Provide separate directories or worktrees for independent changes.

Practical tasks

Editorial examples based on documented features. No product tests performed.

01

Work on a repository task in Canvas

Your input
A repository, a suitable runtime, model access and clear acceptance criteria.
Possible result
An agent session with code changes and traceable tool results.
What to check
Check runtime boundaries, the diff, commands and actual project behavior.
02

Automate recurring code reviews

Your input
A schedule or webhook, project access and narrowly scoped review instructions.
Possible result
Triggered agent runs with reports on the selected codebase.
What to check
Check triggers, workspace separation, access permissions and logs.
EDITORIAL EXAMPLE

A repository, a suitable runtime, model access and clear acceptance criteria.

Your possible prompt

Read the project rules. Investigate [error], propose a small change, and run the relevant checks. Show me the diff and any remaining uncertainties.

Getting-started idea based on documented capabilities. Not an executed product test. Adapt the task, data, and permissions.

Setup and pricing

Setup

Choose a local host or cloud access, connect model access and configure the repository and runtime

Prices and included usage

Local open source
USD 0 software fee

Local use for one user with your own model access.

Price source
Individual Cloud
USD 0 seat fee

One user, at most ten conversations per day, BYOK or models at provider cost.

Price source
Enterprise
Custom pricing

SaaS or deployment in your own VPC, SSO and unlimited concurrent conversations per user.

Price source
  • The pricing page partly describes the older local web GUI. Current architecture documentation identifies Agent Canvas as the active surface and separate licenses per repository; no blanket MIT claim is adopted here.

Sources and evidence

Official architecture overview, SDK documentation and current OpenHands repository checked. The general docs entry point was temporarily unhelpful; the targeted architecture and SDK pages were accessible. Agent Canvas is actively documented and the former Local GUI is marked deprecated.
