FAQPage Schema
How do I build autonomous agents with Claude using a feedback loop architecture?

The Claude Agent SDK implements a gather-take-verify-repeat feedback loop that enables autonomous agents to iteratively collect context, execute actions, and verify results. This pattern supports both simple scripts and complex multi-agent systems in Python and TypeScript environments.

Can I create custom tools for Claude agents without external dependencies?

Yes, Claude Agent SDK lets you build in-process tools with MCP servers for high-performance operations. Custom tools integrate directly into your agent's action execution without requiring external service dependencies.

What's the best way to control permissions and execution in autonomous agents?

The SDK provides built-in permission systems and hooks that let you control tool execution, verify agent actions, and manage subagents. These components work within the feedback loop to ensure safe, auditable autonomous behavior.

How do I manage context in multi-agent systems with Claude?

Claude Agent SDK includes context management components that handle state across multiple agents and feedback cycles. This enables complex orchestration while maintaining clean separation between gather, action, and verify phases.

Does Claude Agent SDK work with both Python and TypeScript projects?

Yes, the SDK supports both Python and TypeScript environments, providing consistent architecture guidance and implementation patterns across languages for building autonomous agents with the same feedback loop design.
