

All Managed Agents API requests require the managed-agents-2026-04-01 beta header. The SDK sets the beta header automatically.

Event types

Event type strings follow a {domain}.{action} naming convention. See Session event stream for sending, streaming, and listing events.

Self-hosted worker

These are the ant beta:worker CLI flags for the pre-built worker that drives a self_hosted environment. See Self-hosted sandboxes for setting up the environment, running a worker, and the SDK helper options.

Flag	Description
`--environment-id`	The environment to poll for work. Also reads from `ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_ID`.
`--environment-key`	Authenticates the worker with this environment. Also reads from `ANTHROPIC_ENVIRONMENT_KEY`.
`--workdir`	Directory where skills are downloaded and tools read and write files. Defaults to `.` (the current directory); the system default working directory is `/workspace`.
`--on-work`	Script to call for each claimed work item instead of running tools in-process. Receives session details as environment variables.
`--unrestricted-paths`	Allow tool calls to access paths outside `--workdir`.
`--max-idle`	How long to wait after the session goes idle with an `end_turn` stop reason before shutting down. Defaults to `60s`.
`--log-format`	Log output format. Use `json` for structured log ingestion. Defaults to `text`.

Supported MCP server types

Claude Managed Agents connects to remote MCP servers that expose an HTTP endpoint, or to private MCP servers through MCP tunnels. The server must support the MCP protocol's streamable HTTP transport. See MCP connector for declaring servers on an agent.

For more information on MCP and building MCP servers, see the MCP documentation.

Rate limits

Managed Agents endpoints are rate-limited per organization:

Operation	Limit
Create endpoints (such as agents, sessions, and environments)	300 requests per minute
Read endpoints (such as retrieve, list, and stream)	600 requests per minute

Organization-level spend limits and tier-based rate limits also apply.

Branding guidelines

For partners integrating Claude Managed Agents, use of Claude branding is optional. When referencing Claude in your product:

Allowed:

"Claude Agent" (preferred for dropdown menus)
"Claude" (when within a menu already labeled "Agents")
"{YourAgentName} Powered by Claude" (if you have an existing agent name)

Not permitted:

"Claude Code" or "Claude Code Agent"
"Claude Cowork" or "Claude Cowork Agent"
Claude Code-branded ASCII art or visual elements that mimic Claude Code

Your product should maintain its own branding and not appear to be Claude Code, Claude Cowork, or any other Anthropic product. For questions about branding compliance, contact the Anthropic sales team.
