Daytona

What is the Daytona tool?

The Daytona tool is a built-in capability in the Agno framework that allows AI agents to dev environment management via daytona. When added to an agent in Agno Builder, the agent can autonomously decide when to invoke this tool based on the user's request.

This is a free tool — no API key or external account is needed. It works out of the box when you add it to any agent.
