Sazabi
Sandbox CLIs

Redis

Give the Sazabi agent the Redis CLI (redis-cli) in its sandbox to connect to and query your Redis instance.

About

This CLI connection makes the Redis CLI (redis-cli) available in the Sazabi agent's sandbox. The agent can use it to query your Redis instance. The tool is baked into the sandbox image; connecting it authenticates (or configures the connection for) the already-installed CLI.

Prerequisites

  • A Sazabi project.
  • A Redis connection URL (REDIS_URL) in the standard connection string format (e.g. redis://:password@hostname:6379).

Set up in the dashboard

Configure the sandbox in the dashboard under Settings > Sandbox CLIs.

Find Redis in the catalog

In Settings > Sandbox CLIs, find Redis under Browse sandbox CLIs and choose to connect it.

Provide credentials

Enter the required value: REDIS_URL (your Redis connection string, including host, port, and any password). Save to store it securely; Sazabi injects it into the sandbox when the agent runs.

Set up with the CLI

You can also configure the Redis CLI connection with the Sazabi CLI (installed and authenticated — see CLI reference).

sazabi sandbox-clis set --type redis-cli --env REDIS_URL=<your-connection-url>

To validate the credentials without saving, run the same command with test in place of set (the test command also requires the --env flags).

Verify

Ask the agent, in a thread, to run redis-cli (a read-only or status command) and confirm it returns real output. If the command is not found, the CLI connection may not be enabled; if it runs unauthenticated or cannot connect, recheck the credentials.

Troubleshooting

Command not found — Confirm the Redis CLI connection is enabled for the project under Settings > Sandbox CLIs.

Authentication or connection fails — Recheck the credential/connection values under Settings > Sandbox CLIs.
