Claude Console

Claude Platform Console is Anthropic's web console for building agents and applications with Claude models and managed agent infrastructure. Its guided quick-start flow lets users create an environment, agent, and session without writing code. The managed-agent flow separates the session event log, the agent's harness and Claude-based “brain,” and sandboxed tools or “hands”; credentials are injected through an egress proxy rather than exposed to the sandbox.

Claude Managed Agents is Anthropic's managed agent infrastructure: a configurable agent harness for running Claude on long-running and asynchronous tasks. An agent combines a model, system prompt, tools, MCP servers, and skills; an environment specifies an Anthropic-managed cloud sandbox or a self-hosted sandbox; and a session runs the agent and produces persisted events. Applications send user messages as events, while Claude runs tools and streams responses through server-sent events; sessions can be steered or interrupted, and their event history can be retrieved. The service provides managed tool execution and sandbox infrastructure, including shell commands, file operations, web search and fetch, and MCP connections. It includes prompt caching, compaction, persistent filesystems, conversation history, and server-side storage, so users do not need to build their own agent loop, sandbox, or tool-execution layer. The documentation also describes a design that separates the agent's harness and model from its sandboxes and tools, with credentials handled outside the sandbox through an egress proxy. Claude Managed Agents is in beta and requires the managed-agents-2026-04-01 beta header. Stateful sessions are not currently eligible for Zero Data Retention or HIPAA Business Associate Agreement coverage.

An AWS availability path for Anthropic's Claude Managed Agents, providing an AWS console version rather than deploying the agents through Amazon Bedrock. The associated Managed Agents offering supports scheduled agent deployments, fan-out across sessions, workspaces for tenancy and access, and a research-preview memory process called Dreaming that reviews past sessions.

An SDK for building AI agents that can operate beyond a standard chatbot. The video describes it as providing filesystem access, tool calling, code writing, and debugging capabilities; AssemblyAI used it to build the Joey support agent with local Markdown documentation, embeddings, agentic file search, and a large CLAUDE.md configuration file.

Claude Managed Agents documentation is Anthropic's resource for building and operating managed Claude agents, covering environments, agents, sessions, events, tools, authentication, orchestration, and related APIs. It describes Managed Agents as a pre-built, configurable agent harness running in managed infrastructure, with cloud or self-hosted sandboxes, persistent session state, server-sent event streaming, tool execution, prompt caching, and context compaction. The documentation is part of Anthropic's Claude Platform Docs and includes quickstarts, configuration guides, operational references, and beta-access requirements.
