Feature Request for Grabbing a Single Sandbox using ID Alternate to csb.sandboxes.list

[seanfilimon]

**Description: **

Currently, the CodeSandbox.sandboxes.list() method is designed to retrieve and filter the full list of sandboxes for an organization. While this works adequately for teams with a manageable number of sandboxes (e.g., 500–1000), it becomes inefficient and costly when scaled to larger organizations with thousands (e.g., 5000+) of sandboxes.

The current workaround involves listing all sandboxes and filtering them manually, as shown below:

export function getSandbox(sandboxId: string) {
  return new Promise(async (resolve, reject) => {
    try {
      const sandboxes = await csb.sandboxes.list();
      const sandbox = sandboxes.sandboxes.find((sb) => sb.id === sandboxId);

      resolve({
        success: true,
        sandbox: sandbox
      });
    } catch (error) {
      console.error("Error getting sandbox:", error);
      reject(error);
    }
  });
}

This pattern becomes even more problematic when attempting to retrieve metadata for multiple sandboxes. Iterating through multiple pages of results to find a small subset of relevant IDs adds significant latency and unnecessary load, especially when dealing with paginated APIs and large datasets.

**Use Case: **

We often need to retrieve metadata for a known list of sandbox IDs—sometimes dozens or hundreds at a time—without resuming or fully hydrating them. The current list-and-filter approach:

Requires loading potentially thousands of sandboxes.
Involves inefficient pagination traversal.
Introduces latency that compounds with each request.

**Expected Behavior: **
We would like a more scalable and efficient SDK method that allows:
Direct retrieval of metadata for one or more known sandbox IDs (e.g., ["id1", "id2", "id3"]).
Optional ability to bypass hydration/resume.
Avoidance of full list operations when not necessary.
