Does this skill support both Python and TypeScript?

Yes, it provides implementation patterns and knowledge for both the 'claude-agents' Python package and the '@anthropics/agent-sdk' TypeScript package.

When should I use the Agent SDK instead of the standard Messages API?

Use the Agent SDK when your task requires autonomous, multi-step tool use or complex agentic workflows. Use the Messages API for simple, single-turn chat or predictable API calls.

Can I integrate Model Context Protocol (MCP) with this SDK?

Yes, the SDK is designed to natively support MCP clients, allowing your agents to use any MCP-compliant server as a source for tools and resources.

What is the Claude Agent SDK?

It is Anthropic's official framework designed for building autonomous agents that automatically handle iteration loops, tool execution, and complex context management.

How does the Agent SDK handle security and tool safety?

The SDK includes a dedicated permissions system for whitelisting tools and a hooks system that allows developers to intercept, validate, or block tool calls before execution.
