#Request

Field	Type	What it is
`name`	`string`	The name of the lease. Required.
`port`	`LeasePort`	The port to expose. Required.

#LeasePort

Field	Type	What it is
`port`	`int32`	The guest port. Required.
`visibility`	`PortVisibility`	Default PRIVATE: a lease token or an Access key with `sandboxes:exec` is required. One of `private`, `public`.

#Response

Field	Type	What it is
`name`	`string`	`orgs/{org}/projects/{project}/envs/{env}/leases/{lease}`.
`uid`	`string`	`sbx_<cell><ulid>`; never reused. Output only.

`spec`	`LeaseSpec`	Desired state. Required.
`status`	`LeaseStatus`	Observed state. Output only.

#ResourceMeta

Field	Type	What it is
`generation`	`int64`	Increases by one on every change to `spec`. Output only.
`etag`	`string`	Strong ETag (AIP-154): changes on any change to spec, status, or metadata. Send it back as `If-Match` or `etag` to make Update and Delete conditional; a mismatch fails with ABORTED / 409 `ETAG_MISMATCH`. Output only.
`create_time`	`timestamp`	When the Resource was created. Output only.
`update_time`	`timestamp`	When the Resource last changed. Output only.
`delete_time`	`timestamp`	Set while the Resource is being deleted. Output only.
`labels`	`map<string, string>`	Caller-writable, indexed labels (AIP-122 label rules).
`annotations`	`map<string, string>`	Caller-writable, unindexed annotations.
`display_name`	`string`	Caller-writable human-readable name.
`creator`	`string`	The principal that created the Resource. Output only.

#LeaseSpec

Field	Type	What it is
`shape`	`string`	The shape. Required.

`pool`	`string`	The Pool to take a warm machine from; default the platform pool for the shape and image.
`ttl`	`duration`	The maximum wall time from grant: 1 minute to 24 hours for microVMs, 24 hours to 30 days for macOS. `:renew` extends it within the shape's bound. Reaching it ends the lease EXPIRED. Required.
`idle_timeout`	`duration`	End the lease IDLE after no data-plane call, stream input, or exec for this long; unset never idles out.
`network`	`LeaseNetwork`	The outbound policy. Change it on a running lease with `:setNetwork`.

`env`	`map<string, string>`	Plain environment variables. Secrets bind through Sylphx Secrets, never here.
`volumes`	`VolumeMount[]`	Volumes attached at grant, each by name. A volume is attached to at most one lease at a time; a volume already attached refuses the lease with RESOURCE_IN_USE.
