SYSTEM DOCUMENTATION & REQUIREMENTS

What problem does it solve?

Builds and manages autonomous AI agents using the Claude Agent SDK, enabling reliable structured outputs, plugins, and event-driven workflows.

Core Features & Use Cases

  • Structured outputs & validation: Guarantee outputs conform to JSON schemas to reduce errors in automated pipelines.
  • Plugins & hooks: Extend agent capabilities with plugins and a comprehensive hooks system to respond to tool results, errors, and state changes.
  • Subagents & MCP: Compose complex workflows with subagents, in-process MCP servers, and cross-service integration for SRE, security audits, and coding tasks.
  • Robust permissions: Fine-grained permission control, including canUseTool callbacks and various permission modes to balance autonomy and safety.
  • Use Case: Build secure CI workflows that automate code reviews, security checks, and deployments with auditable traces.

Quick Start

Run a simple example that creates an agent with a system prompt and core tools to start orchestrating a workflow.

How do I manage permissions for subagents and MCP servers?

Manage subagent and MCP server permissions using fine-grained control features like canUseTool callbacks and various permission modes to balance agent autonomy with safety.

Can I use hooks and plugins to extend agent capabilities?

Yes, you can use a comprehensive hooks system and plugins to extend agent capabilities, allowing workflows to respond dynamically to tool results, errors, and state changes.

What is the best way to orchestrate subagents for SRE workflows?

Orchestrate subagents for SRE workflows by composing complex tasks with in-process MCP servers and cross-service integration to handle security audits and CLI troubleshooting.

Does the Claude Agent SDK support input validation for automated pipelines?

Yes, the Claude Agent SDK supports input validation using Zod to enforce schemas, guaranteeing structured outputs and preventing errors in automated CI workflows and deployments.

What are the limitations when automating code reviews with autonomous agents?

When automating code reviews, limitations are mitigated by robust error prevention patterns and per-tool permission controls, though balancing autonomy and safety requires careful configuration.
