Claude Agent Development

Agents run a loop of reasoning, tool calls, and result checks. Builds use the Claude Agent SDK for self-hosted control or Managed Agents for hosted sandboxes, with tools defined as functions or MCP servers. Design covers task decomposition, context management, subagents for parallel work, permission scopes, and human approval steps for risky actions. Evaluation suites, tracing, and cost limits keep behavior measurable before and after release.
