Claude Managed Agents
The headless deployment surface for claude-financial-services — Anthropic’s
Managed Agents API (/v1/agents), the counterpart to claude-cowork in the “two
ways from one source” model.
In this wiki
- Each template under
managed-agent-cookbooks/references the same system prompt and skills as its Cowork plugin counterpart, plus anagent.yaml, depth-1 leaf-worker subagents, and steering-event examples. - A deploy script resolves file references, uploads skills, creates the subagents,
and POSTs an orchestrator to
/v1/agents. A reference event loop routeshandoff_requestevents between agents via the firm’s own orchestration layer. - Subagent delegation (
callable_agents) is a Research Preview capability. - Built on model-context-protocol connectors for data access.
Its leaf-worker subagents + handoff_request loop are an instance of
agent-orchestration.
Terminal client — the ant CLI
Beyond the FSI deploy-script pattern, Anthropic now ships a first-party CLI, ant
(ant-cli), that drives this /v1/agents surface directly: create → deploy to Anthropic’s
cloud → send tasks → pull execution traces, “without creating any wrapper code.” It turns Managed
Agents into a terminal primitive — the developer-facing edge of anthropic‘s model-provider →
full-agent-platform shift.
