Full API Reference

Your agent. Our infrastructure

Run agents in isolated cloud environments with scoped permissions, budget controls, and logs for every run.

How it WorksSet up an environment for your agent, spawn sessions, observe every token.

Interactive Sessions

Cloud sessions feel like local but they give you an isolated cloud environment with your repositories, dependencies, and tools ready. No more git worktree conflicts.

Outbound webhook deliveries fail permanently on any non-2xx. Add retries with exponential backoff, max 5 attempts, and record each attempt.

FOR CODE REVIEW

Custom Code Review

Configure reviews in YAML. Run specialists on relevant changes and add a second pass to filter findings. Ellipsis posts comments directly on GitHub.

Secure, Managed Infrastructure
that is very easy to use

Ellipsis is built with governance at scale in mind. Permissions are defined before a session starts. Every agent action is logged. You have full control over your data longevity.

More about security
SOC 2Type ICertified
SOC 2Type IIIn progress

Scoped credentials

Minted per session, scoped to the repos you allowed, revoked with the sandbox.

Zero source retention

Your code lives only in the session sandbox and is deleted with it.

Full audit trail

Every command, file change, and tool call an agent made, kept after the sandbox is gone.
