Claude Managed Agents

Summary

Today, we're launching Claude Managed Agents, a suite of composable APIs for building and deploying cloud-hosted agents at scale.Until now, building agents meant spending development cycles on secure infrastructure, state management, permissioning, and reworking your agent loops for every model upgrade. Managed Agents pairs an agent harness tuned for performance with production infrastructure to go from prototype to launch in days rather than months.Whether you're building single-task runners or complex multi-agent pipelines, you can focus on the user experience, not the operational overhead.Managed Agents is available today in public beta on the Claude Platform.Build and deploy agents 10x fasterShipping a production agent requires sandboxed code execution, checkpointing, credential management, scoped permissions, and end-to-end tracing. That's months of infrastructure work before you ship anything users see.Managed Agents handles the complexity. You define your agent's tasks, tools, and guardrails and we run it on our infrastructure. A built-in orchestration harness decides when to call tools, how to manage context, and how to recover from errors.VIDEOManaged Agents includes:Production-grade agents with secure sandboxing, authentication, and tool execution handled for you.Long-running sessions that operate autonomously for hours, with progress and outputs that persist even through disconnections.Multi-agent coordination so agents can spin up and direct other agents to parallelize complex work (available in research preview, request access here).Trusted governance giving agents access to real systems with scoped permissions, identity management, and execution tracing built in.Claude Managed Agents architectureDesigned to make the most of ClaudeClaude models are built for agentic work. Managed Agents is purpose-built for Claude, enabling you to get better agent outcomes with less effort. With Managed Agents, you define outcomes and success criteria, and Claude self-e...
