# Run project work

> Run and track jobs, workflows, sandboxes, and hosted services.

Run project work when a task needs durable status, logs, retries, or hosted execution.

## Steps

1. Choose the runtime type for the work.
2. Start a job, workflow, sandbox session, or hosted service.
3. Inspect run status and logs.
4. Retry, cancel, or resume work when the runtime supports it.

## Try it with REST

Create a sandbox session:

`POST /sandbox-sessions`

```bash title="Terminal" theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.veryfront.com/sandbox-sessions \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VERYFRONT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "ttl_mode": "duration",
    "ttl_hours": 1
  }'
```

Run a job:

`POST /projects/{project_reference}/jobs`

```bash title="Terminal" theme={null}
curl -X POST https://api.veryfront.com/projects/support-assistant/jobs \
  -H "Authorization: Bearer $VERYFRONT_API_KEY" \
  -H "Content-Type: application/json" \
  -d '{
    "name": "Runtime smoke test",
    "target": "tasks/smoke-test",
    "timeout_seconds": 300
  }'
```

## Verify

Check the sandbox session status before running commands.

List jobs and confirm the smoke test reaches a terminal status.
