Summary
- Defaults to Claude Opus 4.6 with adaptive thinking and streaming; supports tool use, structured outputs, batches, and file uploads through a single /v1/messages endpoint
- Language detection automatically routes you to the correct SDK documentation; includes decision trees for choosing between single API calls, workflows with tool use, and agentic loops
- Tool runner (beta in most languages) handles automatic loop execution; manual loops available for fine-grained control over approval gates, logging, and conditional execution
- Agent SDK (Python and TypeScript only) provides built-in file, web, and terminal tools with permissions, MCP support, and safety guardrails; Claude API is the right choice for custom agent tools
