Terminate a running Modal sandbox via pay-per-call MPP endpoint.
What it does
This endpoint exposes a sandbox termination action for Modal's serverless GPU compute platform, wrapped behind the Micro-Payment Protocol (MPP) on Tempo's infrastructure. The intended use case is programmatically stopping a running sandbox environment — useful for cleaning up after code execution, shutting down idle GPU workloads, or managing sandbox lifecycles from an AI agent or automation pipeline.
The endpoint is part of a broader Modal MPP integration hosted at modal.mpp.tempo.xyz, which likely includes companion endpoints for creating and interacting with sandboxes. However, at the time of probing, the endpoint returned 404 on both HEAD and GET requests rather than the expected 402 MPP payment challenge. The provider's root domain and all documentation paths also return 404, suggesting the service may not yet be deployed, may have been moved, or may require a different HTTP method (e.g., POST or DELETE) to trigger the payment challenge.
Due to the lack of a captured 402 challenge, no pricing, payment method, or schema information is available. The listing is based solely on the Bazaar record's title and description. Users interested in this endpoint should verify its status directly or contact the provider.
Capabilities
Use cases
- —Terminating idle or completed Modal sandboxes to free GPU resources
- —Automated sandbox lifecycle management in CI/CD or agent workflows
- —Cleaning up after sandboxed code execution tasks
Fit
Best for
- —AI agents managing ephemeral compute environments
- —Automation pipelines that spin up and tear down sandboxes
- —Developers using Modal for on-demand GPU workloads
Not for
- —Long-running persistent compute that should not be terminated
- —Users needing sandbox creation or execution (this is termination only)
- —Workloads not running on Modal's platform
Quick start
# Endpoint not currently returning a 402 challenge.
# Expected usage (once live) would be something like:
curl -X POST https://modal.mpp.tempo.xyz/sandbox/terminate \
-H "Content-Type: application/json" \
-d '{"sandbox_id": "your-sandbox-id"}'Example
Request
{
"sandbox_id": "sb_abc123"
}Endpoint
Quality
The endpoint returned 404 on all probe methods and the entire provider domain returns 404 on every path. No 402 challenge, no schema, no documentation, and no pricing information are available. The listing is essentially a stub based on the Bazaar record metadata alone.
Warnings
- —Endpoint returned 404 on HEAD and GET — no MPP 402 challenge captured; endpoint may not be live or may require POST/DELETE method
- —All crawled pages (root, /docs, /api, /pricing, /README) return 404 — provider site appears non-functional
- —No pricing, schema, or authentication details available
- —Request and response examples are inferred/speculative, not sourced
