About
Claude Managed Agents is a pre-built, configurable agent system from Anthropic designed to run long-running, asynchronous tasks on managed infrastructure without requiring developers to build their own agent loops. It acts as a complete “agent harness,” allowing developers to define goals while the system handles execution, orchestration, and state management behind the scenes. Unlike direct model prompting, which requires step-by-step interaction, Managed Agents are designed for tasks that unfold over time, such as research, automation, or multi-step workflows, where the agent can continue working independently after being started. It supports advanced capabilities such as multi-agent orchestration, where a primary agent can coordinate specialized sub-agents that operate in parallel with isolated contexts, improving both speed and output quality.

About
The Agents API lets developers build and run cloud agents with the same harness and infrastructure that powers Codex, fully managed by OpenAI. A production-ready agent can be created with a single API call by specifying the task, model, tools, and environment, while OpenAI hosts and maintains the agent harness. Developers can choose where agents run: in an OpenAI-hosted sandbox, on their own infrastructure, or through supported sandbox partners. OpenAI-hosted sandboxes provide secure environments where agents can run code, work with files, use packages, skills, and plugins, and produce artifacts. The API is designed for long-running work, with automatic context compaction that preserves relevant information as sessions span multiple context windows. Tool search loads relevant tool definitions only when needed, while programmatic tool calling lets agents run calls in parallel, chain related operations, and filter or combine results in code.
