+# Managed Agents — Overview
+
+Managed Agents provisions a container per session as the agent's workspace. The agent loop runs on Anthropic's orchestration layer; the container is where the agent's *tools* execute — bash commands, file operations, code. You create a persisted **Agent** config (model, system prompt, tools, MCP servers, skills), then start **Sessions** that reference it. The session streams events back to you; you send user messages and tool results in.
+
+## ⚠️ THE MANDATORY FLOW: Agent (once) → Session (every run)
+
+**Why agents are separate objects: versioning.** An agent is a persisted, versioned config — every update creates a new immutable version, and sessions pin to a version at creation time. This lets you iterate on the agent (tweak the prompt, add a tool) without breaking sessions already running, roll back if a change regresses, and A/B test versions side-by-side. None of that works if you `agents.create()` fresh on every run.
+
+Every session references a pre-created `/v1/agents` object. Create the agent once, store the ID, and reuse it across runs.
+
+| Step | Call | Frequency |
+|---|---|---|
+| 1 | `POST /v1/agents` — `model`, `system`, `tools`, `mcp_servers`, `skills` live here | **ONCE.** Store `agent.id` **and** `agent.version`. |
+| 2 | `POST /v1/sessions` — `agent: "agent_abc123"` or `{type: "agent", id, version}` | **Every run.** String shorthand uses latest version. |
+
+If you're about to write `sessions.create()` with `model`, `system`, or `tools` on the session body — **stop**. Those fields live on `agents.create()`. The session takes a *pointer* only.
+
+**When generating code, separate setup from runtime.** `agents.create()` belongs in a setup script (or a guarded `if agent_id is None:` block), not at the top of the hot path. If the user's code calls `agents.create()` on every invocation, they're accumulating orphaned agents and paying the create latency for nothing. The correct shape is: create once → persist the ID (config file, env var, secrets manager) → every run loads the ID and calls `sessions.create()`.
+
+**To change the agent's behavior, use `POST /v1/agents/{id}` — don't create a new one.** Each update bumps the version; running sessions keep their pinned version, new sessions get the latest (or pin explicitly via `{type: "agent", id, version}`). See `shared/managed-agents-core.md` → Agents → Versioning. To change `tools`/`mcp_servers`/`vault_ids` on **one running session** without touching the agent object, use `sessions.update()` — see `shared/managed-agents-core.md` → Updating the agent configuration mid-session.
+
+## Beta Headers
+
+Managed Agents is in beta. The SDK sets required beta headers automatically:
+
+| Beta Header                    | What it enables                                      |
+| ------------------------------ | ---------------------------------------------------- |
+| `managed-agents-2026-04-01`    | Agents, Environments, Sessions, Events, Session Resources, Session Threads, Outcomes, Multiagent, Vaults, Credentials, Memory Stores, Deployments |
+| `skills-2025-10-02`            | Skills API (for managing custom skill definitions)   |
+| `files-api-2025-04-14`         | Files API for file uploads                           |
+
+**Which beta header goes where:** The SDK sets `managed-agents-2026-04-01` automatically on `client.beta.{agents,environments,sessions,vaults,memory_stores,deployments,deployment_runs}.*` calls, and `files-api-2025-04-14` / `skills-2025-10-02` automatically on `client.beta.files.*` / `client.beta.skills.*` calls. You do NOT need to add the Skills or Files beta header when calling Managed Agents endpoints. **Exception — session-scoped file listing:** `client.beta.files.list({scope_id: session.id})` is a Files endpoint that takes a Managed Agents parameter, so it needs **both** headers. Pass `betas: ["managed-agents-2026-04-01"]` explicitly on that call (the SDK adds the Files header; you add the Managed Agents one). See `shared/managed-agents-environments.md` → Session outputs.

+
+## Common Pitfalls
+
+- **Agent FIRST, then session — NO EXCEPTIONS** — the session's `agent` field accepts **only** a string ID or `{type: "agent", id, version}`. `model`, `system`, `tools`, `mcp_servers`, `skills` are **top-level fields on `POST /v1/agents`**, never on `sessions.create()`. If the user hasn't created an agent, that is step zero of every example.
+- **Agent ONCE, not every run** — `agents.create()` is a setup step. Store the returned `agent_id` and reuse it; don't call `agents.create()` at the top of your hot path. If the agent's config needs to change, `POST /v1/agents/{id}` — each update creates a new version, and sessions can pin to a specific version for reproducibility.
+- **MCP auth goes through vaults** — the agent's `mcp_servers` array declares `{type, name, url}` only (no auth). Credentials live in vaults (`client.beta.vaults.credentials.create`) and attach to sessions via `vault_ids`. Anthropic auto-refreshes OAuth tokens using the stored refresh token. Vaults also hold `environment_variable` credentials for non-MCP services (CLIs, SDKs, direct API calls) — substituted at egress, never visible in the sandbox.
+- **Reconcile resources before the first run** — a session with a clear ask but a missing tool, credential, data mount, or context will discover the gap mid-run, then flail and give up. Before creating the session, check that every action in the task maps to a configured tool/MCP server, every MCP server has a vault credential, and every referenced file/host is mounted/reachable. When helping a user set one up, run the reconciliation in `shared/managed-agents-onboarding.md` → §3 Pre-flight viability check.
+- **Stream to get events** — `GET /v1/sessions/{id}/events/stream` is the primary way to receive agent output in real-time.
+- **SSE stream has no replay — reconnect with consolidation** — if the stream drops while a `agent.tool_use`, `agent.mcp_tool_use`, or `agent.custom_tool_use` is pending resolution (`user.tool_confirmation` for the first two, `user.custom_tool_result` for the last one), the session deadlocks (client disconnects → session idles → reconnect happens → no client resolution happens). On every (re)connect: open stream with `GET /v1/sessions/{id}/events/stream` , fetch `GET /v1/sessions/{id}/events`, dedupe by event ID, then proceed. See `shared/managed-agents-events.md` → Reconnecting after a dropped stream.
+- **Don't trust HTTP-library timeouts as wall-clock caps** — `requests` `timeout=(c, r)` and `httpx.Timeout(n)` are *per-chunk* read timeouts; they reset every byte, so a trickling connection can block indefinitely. For a hard deadline on raw-HTTP polling, track `time.monotonic()` at the loop level and bail explicitly. Prefer the SDK's `sessions.events.stream()` / `session.events.list()` over hand-rolled HTTP. See `shared/managed-agents-events.md` → Receiving Events.
+- **Messages queue** — you can send events while the session is `running` or `idle`; they're processed in order. No need to wait for a response before sending the next message.
+- **Environment `config.type` is `"cloud"` or `"self_hosted"`** — `cloud` runs the container on Anthropic's infrastructure; `self_hosted` moves tool execution to your own (see `shared/managed-agents-self-hosted-sandboxes.md`).
+- **Archive is permanent on every resource** — archiving an agent, environment, session, vault, credential, or memory store makes it read-only with no unarchive. For agents, environments, and memory stores specifically, archived resources cannot be referenced by new sessions (existing sessions continue). Do not call `.archive()` on a production agent, environment, or memory store as cleanup — **always confirm with the user before archiving**.

+# Managed Agents — Core Concepts
+
+## Architecture
+
+Managed Agents is built around four core concepts:
+
+| Concept | Endpoint | What it is |
+|---|---|---|
+| **Agent** | `/v1/agents` | A persisted, versioned object defining the agent's capabilities and persona: model, system prompt, tools, MCP servers, skills. **Must be created before starting a session.** See the Agents section below. |
+| **Session** | `/v1/sessions` | A stateful interaction with an agent. References a pre-created agent by ID + an environment + initial instructions. Produces an event stream. |
+| **Environment** | `/v1/environments` | A template defining the configuration for container provisioning. |
+| **Container** | N/A | An isolated compute instance where the agent's **tools** execute (bash, file ops, code). The agent loop does not run here — it runs on Anthropic's orchestration layer and acts on the container via tool calls. |
+
+```
+                       ┌─────────────────────────────────────┐
+                       │  Anthropic orchestration layer      │
+Agent (config) ───────▶│  (agent loop: Claude + tool calls)  │
+                       └──────────────┬──────────────────────┘
+                                      │ tool calls

+Environment (template) ──▶ Container (tool execution workspace)
+                                 │
+                         Session ─┤
+                                 ├── Resources (files, repos, memory stores — attached at startup)
+                                 ├── Vault IDs (MCP credential references)
+                                 └── Conversation (event stream in/out)
+```
+
+> **Agent creation is a prerequisite.** Sessions reference a pre-created agent by ID — `model`/`system`/`tools` live on the agent object, never on the session. Every flow starts with `POST /v1/agents`.
+
+---
+
+## Session Lifecycle
+
+```
+rescheduling → running ↔ idle → terminated
+```
+
+| Status         | Description                                                        |
+| -------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------------ |
+| `idle` | Agent has finished the current task, and is awaiting input. It's either waiting for input to continue working via a `user.message` or blocked awaiting a `user.custom_tool_result` or `user.tool_confirmation`. The `stop_reason` attached contains more information about why the Agent has stopped working. |
+| `running` | Session has starting running, and the Agent is actively doing work. |
+| `rescheduling` | Session is (re)scheduling after a retryable error has occurred, ready to be picked up by the orchestration system. |
+| `terminated` | Session has terminated, entering an irreversible and unusable state.  |
+
+- Events can be sent when the session is `running` or `idle`. Messages are queued and processed in order.
+- The agent transitions `idle → running` when it receives a new event, then back to `idle` when done.
+- Errors surface as `session.error` events in the stream, not as a status value.
+
+Every session has a live trace view in the Anthropic Console at `https://platform.claude.com/workspaces/default/sessions/{session_id}`. Print this URL immediately after creating a session so the user can watch tool calls and messages stream in real time. The `default` workspace segment auto-resolves to the session's actual workspace on load, so you don't need the workspace id.
+
+### Built-in session features
+
+- **Context compaction** — if you approach max context, the API automatically condenses session history to keep the interaction going
+- **Prompt caching** — historical repeated tokens are cached, reducing processing time and cost
+- **Extended thinking** — on by default, returned as `agent.thinking` events
+
+### Session operations
+
+| Operation | Notes |
+|---|---|
+| List / fetch | Paginated list or single resource by ID |
+| Update | Only `title` is updatable |
+| Archive | Session becomes **read-only**. Not reversible. |
+| Delete | Permanently deletes session, event history, container, and checkpoints. |
+
+These are ops/inspection calls — typically made from a terminal, not application code. From the shell (see `shared/anthropic-cli.md`):
+
+```sh
+ant beta:sessions list --transform '{id,title,status,created_at}' --format jsonl
+ant beta:sessions retrieve --session-id "$SID"
+ant beta:sessions:events stream --session-id "$SID"   # watch events live
+ant beta:sessions archive  --session-id "$SID"
+ant beta:sessions delete   --session-id "$SID"
+```
+
+---
+
+## Sessions
+
+A session is a running agent instance inside an environment.
+
+### Session Object
+
+Key fields returned by the API:
+
+| Field           | Type     | Description                                         |
+| --------------- | -------- | --------------------------------------------------- |
+| `type` | string | Always `"session"` |
+| `id` | string | Unique session ID |
+| `title` | string | Human-readable title |
+| `status` | string | `idle`, `running`, `rescheduling`, `terminated` |
+| `created_at` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp |
+| `updated_at` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp |
+| `archived_at` | string | ISO 8601 timestamp (nullable) |
+| `environment_id` | string | Environment ID |
+| `agent` | object | Agent configuration |
+| `resources` | array | Attached files, repos, and memory stores |
+| `metadata` | object | User-provided key-value pairs (max 8 keys) |
+| `usage` | object | Token usage statistics |
+
+### Creating a session
+
+**A session is meaningless without an agent.** Sessions reference a pre-created agent by ID. Create the agent first via `agents.create()`, then reference it:
+
+```ts
+// 1. Create the agent (reusable, versioned)
+const agent = await client.beta.agents.create(
+  {
+    name: "Coding Assistant",
+    model: "claude-opus-4-8",
+    system: "You are a helpful coding agent.",
+    tools: [{ type: "agent_toolset_20260401"}],
+  },
+);
+
+// 2. Start a session that references it
+const session = await client.beta.sessions.create(
+  {
+    agent: agent.id,  // string shorthand → latest version. Or: { type: "agent", id: agent.id, version: agent.version }
+    environment_id: environmentId,
+    title: "Hello World Session",
+  },
+);
+```
+
+> 💡 **Watch it live in Console.** While developing, print a link so you can click through to the session UI instead of parsing the event stream: `https://platform.claude.com/workspaces/default/sessions/{session.id}`. The `default` workspace segment auto-resolves to the session's actual workspace on load, so you don't need to know the workspace id. Include this `print`/`console.log` in code you generate for users who are iterating locally.
+
+**Session creation parameters:**
+
+| Field           | Type     | Required | Description                                    |
+| --------------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `agent`         | string or object | **Yes** | Three forms: string shorthand `"agent_abc123"` (latest version); pinned `{type: "agent", id, version}`; or `{type: "agent_with_overrides", id, version?, ...}` to override `model`/`system`/`tools`/`mcp_servers`/`skills` for this session only — see § Override agent configuration for a session |
+| `environment_id`| string   | **Yes**  | Environment ID                                 |
+| `title`         | string   | No       | Human-readable name (appears in logs/dashboards) |
+| `resources`     | array    | No       | Files, GitHub repos, or memory stores, attached to the container at startup. Memory stores are session-create-only (not addable via `resources.add()`). |
+| `vault_ids`     | array    | No       | Vault IDs (`vlt_*`) — MCP credentials with auto-refresh + `environment_variable` secrets substituted at egress. See `shared/managed-agents-tools.md` → Vaults. |
+| `metadata`      | object   | No       | User-provided key-value pairs                  |
+
+**Agent configuration fields** (passed to `agents.create()`, not `sessions.create()`):
+
+| Field         | Type     | Required | Description                                    |
+| ------------- | -------- | -------- | ---------------------------------------------- |
+| `name`        | string   | **Yes**  | Human-readable name (1-256 chars)              |
+| `model`       | string or object | **Yes** | Claude model ID (bare string, or `{id, speed}` object). All Claude 4.5+ models supported. |
+| `system`      | string   | No       | System prompt — defines the agent's behavior (up to 100K chars) |
+| `tools`       | array    | No       | Encompasses three kinds: (1) pre-built Claude Agent tools (`agent_toolset_20260401`), (2) MCP tools (`mcp_toolset`), and (3) custom client-side tools. Max 128. |
+| `mcp_servers` | array    | No       | MCP server connections — standardized third-party capabilities (e.g. GitHub, Asana). Max 20, unique names. See `shared/managed-agents-tools.md` → MCP Servers. |
+| `skills`      | array    | No       | Customized "best-practices" context with progressive disclosure. Max 20. See `shared/managed-agents-tools.md` → Skills. |
+| `description` | string   | No       | Description of the agent (up to 2048 chars)    |
+| `multiagent`  | object   | No       | `{type: "coordinator", agents: [...]}` — roster this agent may delegate to. See `shared/managed-agents-multiagent.md`. |
+| `metadata`    | object   | No       | Arbitrary key-value pairs (max 16, keys ≤64 chars, values ≤512 chars) |
+
+---
+
+## Agents
+
+**This is where every Managed Agents flow begins.** The agent object is a persisted, versioned configuration — you create it once, then reference it by ID every time you start a session. No agent → no session.
+
+### Agent Object
+
+The API is **flat** — `model`, `system`, `tools` etc. are top-level fields, not wrapped in an `agent:{}` sub-object.
+
+| Field              | Type     | Required | Description                                        |
+| ------------------ | -------- | -------- | -------------------------------------------------- |
+| `name`             | string   | Yes      | Human-readable name                                |
+| `model`            | string   | Yes      | Claude model ID                                    |
+| `system`           | string   | No       | System prompt                                      |
+| `tools`            | array    | No       | Agent toolset / MCP toolset / custom tools         |
+| `mcp_servers`      | array    | No       | MCP server connections                             |
+| `skills`           | array    | No       | Skill references (max 20)                          |
+| `description`      | string   | No       | Description of the agent                           |
+| `multiagent`       | object   | No       | Coordinator roster — see `shared/managed-agents-multiagent.md` |
+| `metadata`         | object   | No       | Arbitrary key-value pairs                          |
+
+### Lifecycle: create once, run many, update in place
+
+The agent is a **persistent resource**, not a per-run parameter. The intended pattern:
+
+```
+┌─ setup (once) ─────────┐     ┌─ runtime (every invocation) ─┐
+│ agents.create()        │     │ sessions.create(             │
+│   → store agent_id     │ ──→ │   agent={type:..., id: ID}   │
+│     in config/env/db   │     │ )                            │
+└────────────────────────┘     └──────────────────────────────┘
+```
+
+**Anti-pattern:** calling `agents.create()` at the top of every script run. This accumulates orphaned agent objects, pays create latency on every invocation, and defeats the versioning model. If you see `agents.create()` in a function that's called per-request or per-cron-tick, that's wrong — hoist it to one-time setup and persist the ID.
+
+> **Recommended — define agents and environments as YAML + apply via the `ant` CLI.** The split is **CLI for the control plane, SDK for the data plane**: agents and environments are relatively static resources you manage with `ant` (version-controlled YAML, applied from CI); sessions are dynamic and driven by your application through the SDK. See `shared/anthropic-cli.md` → *Version-controlled Managed Agents resources* for the `ant beta:agents create < agent.yaml` / `update --version N` flow. The SDK `agents.create()` call shown elsewhere in this doc is the in-code equivalent — use it when you need to provision programmatically, but prefer the YAML flow for anything a human maintains.
+
+### Versioning
+
+Each `POST /v1/agents/{id}` (update) creates a new immutable version (numeric timestamp, e.g. `1772585501101368014`). The agent's history is append-only — you can't edit a past version.
+
+**Why version:**
+- **Reproducibility** — pin a session to a known-good config: `{type: "agent", id, version: 3}`
+- **Safe iteration** — update the agent without breaking sessions already running on the old version
+- **Rollback** — if a new system prompt regresses, pin new sessions back to the prior version while you debug
+
+**`version` is optional.** Omit it (or use the string shorthand `agent="agent_abc123"`) to get the latest version at session-creation time. Pass it explicitly (`{type: "agent", id, version: N}`) to pin for reproducibility.
+
+**Getting the version to pin:** `agents.create()` and `agents.update()` both return `version` in the response. Store it alongside `agent_id`. To fetch the current latest for an existing agent: `GET /v1/agents/{id}` → `.version`.
+
+**When to update vs create new:** Update (`POST /v1/agents/{id}`) when it's conceptually the same agent with tweaked behavior (better prompt, extra tool). Create a new agent when it's a different persona/purpose. Rule of thumb: if you'd give it the same `name`, update.
+
+### Agent Endpoints
+
+| Operation        | Method   | Path                                  |
+| ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------- |
+| Create           | `POST`   | `/v1/agents`                          |
+| List             | `GET`    | `/v1/agents`                          |
+| Get              | `GET`    | `/v1/agents/{id}`                     |
+| Update           | `POST`   | `/v1/agents/{id}`                     |
+| Archive          | `POST`   | `/v1/agents/{id}/archive`             |
+
+> ⚠️ **Archive is permanent.** Archiving makes the agent read-only: existing sessions continue to run, but **new sessions cannot reference it**, and there is no unarchive. Since agents have no `delete`, this is the terminal lifecycle state. Never archive a production agent as routine cleanup — confirm with the user first.
+
+### Using an Agent in a Session
+
+Reference the agent by string ID (latest version) or by object with an explicit version:
+
+```python
+# String shorthand — uses the agent's latest version
+session = client.beta.sessions.create(
+    agent=agent.id,
+    environment_id=environment_id,
+)
+
+# Or pin to a specific version (int)
+session = client.beta.sessions.create(
+    agent={"type": "agent", "id": agent.id, "version": agent.version},
+    environment_id=environment_id,
+)
+```
+
+### Override agent configuration for a session
+
+The third `agent` form, `agent_with_overrides`, replaces parts of the agent's configuration for **a single session** — try a different model or grant an extra tool without versioning the agent. Pass `id` (and optionally `version`; omitted = latest, same default as the other two forms) plus any of `model`, `system`, `tools`, `mcp_servers`, `skills`:
+
+```python
+session = client.beta.sessions.create(
+    agent={
+        "type": "agent_with_overrides",
+        "id": agent.id,
+        "model": "claude-opus-4-8",   # replace the agent's model for this session
+        "system": None,           # clear the system prompt for this session
+    },
+    environment_id=environment_id,
+)
+```
+
+Each overridable field follows tri-state rules:
+- **Omit** → the session inherits the value from the referenced agent version.
+- **`null` (or `[]` for list fields)** → the session runs with that field cleared. Applies in full to `system`, `mcp_servers`, `skills`. Two exceptions: `model` is never clearable (`model: null` → 400 `agent_model_required`); clearing `tools` returns 400 when the session's effective `skills` is non-empty (skills require the `read` tool), otherwise `tools: null` / `tools: []` clears.
+- **A value** → replaces the agent's value **in full**. Overrides never merge — a `tools` override must list every tool the session should have.
+
+Overrides are session-local: they do **not** modify the agent resource or create a new agent version. The response's `agent` object reflects the post-override configuration, while its `id` and `version` still identify the base agent — so you can trace a session back to its base. In multiagent sessions, overrides apply to the coordinator and its `{type: "self"}` copies; roster agents referenced by ID always use their own as-created configuration (see `shared/managed-agents-multiagent.md`).
+
+### Updating the agent configuration mid-session
+
+`sessions.update()` can change `agent.tools`, `agent.mcp_servers` (including permission policies), and `vault_ids` on an **existing** session. This is a **session-local override** — it does not create a new agent version and does not propagate back to the agent object. The provided arrays are **full replacements**; to append one tool, `GET` the session, modify, and `POST` back. The session must be `idle` — interrupt first if running.
+
+Only `tools` and `mcp_servers` can change after a session is created — to run with a `model`, `system`, or `skills` other than the agent's values, use `agent_with_overrides` at create time (above). The agent's configured `system` field is fixed for the session's lifetime; you can still **replace the effective system prompt between turns** by sending a `system.message` event (see `shared/managed-agents-events.md` § Updating the system prompt mid-session).
+
+```python
+client.beta.sessions.update(
+    session.id,
+    agent={
+        "tools": [
+            {"type": "agent_toolset_20260401"},
+            {"type": "mcp_toolset", "mcp_server_name": "linear"},
+        ],
+        "mcp_servers": [{"type": "url", "name": "linear", "url": "https://mcp.linear.app/sse"}],
+    },
+    vault_ids=["vlt_..."],
+)
+```

+# Managed Agents — Environments & Resources
+
+## Environments
+
+Creating a session requires an `environment_id`. Environments are **reusable configuration templates** for spinning up containers in Anthropic's infrastructure — you might create different environments for different use cases (e.g. data visualization vs web development, with different package sets). Anthropic handles scaling, container lifecycle, and work orchestration.
+
+**Environment names must be unique.** Creating an environment with an existing name returns 409.
+
+### Networking
+
+| Network Policy   | Description                                                   |
+| ---------------- | ------------------------------------------------------------- |
+| `unrestricted`   | Full egress (except legal blocklist)                          |
+| `limited`        | Deny-by-default; opt in via `allowed_hosts` / `allow_package_managers` / `allow_mcp_servers` |
+
+```json
+{
+  "networking": {
+    "type": "limited",
+    "allow_package_managers": true,
+    "allow_mcp_servers": true,
+    "allowed_hosts": ["api.example.com"]
+  }
+}
+```
+
+All three `limited` fields are optional. `allow_package_managers` (default `false`) permits PyPI/npm/etc.; `allow_mcp_servers` (default `false`) permits the agent's configured MCP server endpoints without listing them in `allowed_hosts`.
+
+**MCP caveat:** Under `limited` networking, either set `allow_mcp_servers: true` or add each MCP server domain to `allowed_hosts`. Otherwise the container can't reach them and tools silently fail.
+
+### Creating an environment
+
+The SDK adds `managed-agents-2026-04-01` automatically. TypeScript:
+
+```ts
+const env = await client.beta.environments.create({
+  name: "my_env",
+  config: {
+    type: "cloud",
+    networking: { type: "unrestricted" },
+  },
+});
+```
+
+### Self-hosted sandboxes
+
+To run tool execution in **your own infrastructure** instead of Anthropic's, set `config: {type: "self_hosted"}` — the agent loop stays on Anthropic's side, but `bash` / file ops / code execute in a container you control via an outbound-polling worker. The `networking` block does not apply (you control egress). Resource mounting (`file`, `github_repository`) and memory stores behave differently — see `shared/managed-agents-self-hosted-sandboxes.md` for the worker, credentials, and cloud-vs-self-hosted comparison.
+
+### Environment CRUD
+
+| Operation        | Method   | Path                                       | Notes |
+| ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------------ | ----- |
+| Create           | `POST`   | `/v1/environments`                         | |
+| List             | `GET`    | `/v1/environments`                         | Paginated (`limit`, `after_id`, `before_id`) |
+| Get              | `GET`    | `/v1/environments/{id}`                    | |
+| Update           | `POST`   | `/v1/environments/{id}`                    | Changes apply only to **new** containers; existing sessions keep their original config |
+| Delete           | `DELETE` | `/v1/environments/{id}`                    | Returns 204. |
+| Archive          | `POST`   | `/v1/environments/{id}/archive`            | Makes it **read-only**; existing sessions continue, new sessions cannot reference it. No unarchive — terminal state. |
+
+---
+
+## Resources
+
+Attach files, GitHub repositories, and memory stores to a session. **Session creation blocks until all resources are mounted** — the container won't go `running` until every file and repo is in place. Max **999 file resources** per session. Multiple GitHub repositories per session are supported. For `type: "memory_store"` resources (persistent cross-session memory — max 8 per session), see `shared/managed-agents-memory.md`.
+
+### File Uploads (input — host → agent)
+
+Upload a file first via the Files API, then reference by `file_id` + `mount_path`:
+
+```ts
+// 1. Upload
+const file = await client.beta.files.upload({
+  file: fs.createReadStream("data.csv"),
+});
+
+// 2. Attach as a session resource
+const session = await client.beta.sessions.create({
+  agent: agent.id,
+  environment_id: envId,
+  resources: [
+    { type: "file", file_id: file.id, mount_path: "/workspace/data.csv" }
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+**`mount_path` is required** and must be absolute. Parent directories are created automatically. Agent working directory defaults to `/workspace`. Files are mounted read-only — the agent writes modified versions to new paths.
+
+### Session outputs (output — agent → host)
+
+The agent can write files to `/mnt/session/outputs/` during a session. These are automatically captured by the Files API and can be listed and downloaded afterwards:
+
+```ts
+// After the turn completes, list output files scoped to this session:
+for await (const f of client.beta.files.list({
+  scope_id: session.id,
+  betas: ["managed-agents-2026-04-01"],
+})) {
+  console.log(f.filename, f.size_bytes);
+  const resp = await client.beta.files.download(f.id);
+  const text = await resp.text();
+}
+```
+
+**Requirements:**
+- The `write` tool (or `bash`) must be enabled for the agent to create output files.
+- Session-scoped `files.list` / `files.download` captures outputs written to `/mnt/session/outputs/`.
+- The filter parameter is **`scope_id`** (REST query param `?scope_id=<session_id>`). The SDK's files resource auto-adds only the `files-api-2025-04-14` header, so pass `betas: ["managed-agents-2026-04-01"]` explicitly (or both headers on raw HTTP) — without it the API may reject `scope_id` as an unknown field. Requires `@anthropic-ai/sdk` ≥ 0.88.0 / `anthropic` (Python) ≥ 0.92.0 — older versions don't type `scope_id`. The `ant` CLI does **not** expose this flag yet; use the SDK or curl.
+- Pass the session ID returned by `sessions.create()` verbatim (e.g. `sesn_011CZx...`) — the API validates the prefix.
+- There's a brief indexing lag (~1–3s) between `session.status_idle` and output files appearing in `files.list`. Retry once or twice if empty.
+
+> **Fallback when `scope_id` filtering is unavailable** (older SDK, or endpoint returns an error): send a follow-up `user.message` asking the agent to `read` each file under `/mnt/session/outputs/` and return the contents. The agent streams the file bodies back as `agent.message` text. This works for text files only and costs output tokens — use it to unblock, not as the primary path.
+
+This gives you a bidirectional file bridge: upload reference data in, download agent artifacts out.
+
+### GitHub Repositories
+
+Clones a GitHub repository into the session container during initialization, before the agent begins execution. The agent can read, edit, commit, and push via `bash` (`git`). Multiple repositories per session are supported — add one `resources` entry per repo. Repositories are cached, so future sessions that use the same repository start faster.
+
+Repositories are attached for the lifetime of the session — to change which repositories are mounted, create a new session. You **can** rotate a repository's `authorization_token` on a running session via `client.beta.sessions.resources.update(resource_id, {session_id, authorization_token})`; the resource `id` is returned at session creation and by `resources.list()`.
+
+**Fields:**
+
+| Field | Required | Notes |
+|---|---|---|
+| `type` | ✅ | `"github_repository"` |
+| `url` | ✅ | The GitHub repository URL |
+| `authorization_token` | ✅ | GitHub Personal Access Token with repository access. **Never echoed in API responses.** |
+| `mount_path` | ❌ | Path where the repository will be cloned. Defaults to `/workspace/<repo-name>`. |
+| `checkout` | ❌ | `{type: "branch", name: "..."}` or `{type: "commit", sha: "..."}`. Defaults to the repo's default branch. |
+
+**Token permission levels** (fine-grained PATs):
+- `Contents: Read` — clone only
+- `Contents: Read and write` — push changes and create pull requests
+
+**How auth works:** `authorization_token` is never placed inside the container. `git pull` / `git push` and GitHub REST calls against the attached repository are routed through an Anthropic-side git proxy that injects the token after the request leaves the sandbox. Code running in the container — including anything the agent writes — cannot read or exfiltrate it.
+
+> ‼️ **To generate pull requests** you also need GitHub **MCP server** access — the `github_repository` resource gives filesystem + git access only. See `shared/managed-agents-tools.md` → MCP Servers. The PR workflow is: edit files in the mounted repo → push branch via `bash` (authenticated via the git proxy using `authorization_token`) → create PR via the MCP `create_pull_request` tool (authenticated via the vault).
+
+**TypeScript:**
+
+```ts
+// 1. Create the agent — declare GitHub MCP (no auth here)
+const agent = await client.beta.agents.create(
+  {
+    name: 'GitHub Agent',
+    model: 'claude-opus-4-8',
+    mcp_servers: [
+      { type: 'url', name: 'github', url: 'https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/' },
+    ],
+    tools: [
+      { type: 'agent_toolset_20260401', default_config: { enabled: true } },
+      { type: 'mcp_toolset', mcp_server_name: 'github' },
+    ],
+  },
+);
+
+// 2. Start a session — attach vault for MCP auth + mount the repo
+const session = await client.beta.sessions.create({
+  agent: agent.id,
+  environment_id: envId,
+  vault_ids: [vaultId],  // vault contains the GitHub MCP OAuth credential
+  resources: [
+    {
+      type: 'github_repository',
+      url: 'https://github.com/owner/repo',
+      authorization_token: process.env.GITHUB_TOKEN,  // repo clone token (≠ MCP auth)
+      checkout: { type: 'branch', name: 'main' },
+    },
+  ],
+});
+```
+
+**Python:**
+
+```python
+import os
+
+agent = client.beta.agents.create(
+    name="GitHub Agent",
+    model="claude-opus-4-8",
+    mcp_servers=[{
+        "type": "url",
+        "name": "github",
+        "url": "https://api.githubcopilot.com/mcp/",
+    }],
+    tools=[
+        {"type": "agent_toolset_20260401", "default_config": {"enabled": True}},
+        {"type": "mcp_toolset", "mcp_server_name": "github"},
+    ],
+)
+
+session = client.beta.sessions.create(
+    agent=agent.id,
+    environment_id=env_id,
+    vault_ids=[vault_id],  # vault contains the GitHub MCP OAuth credential
+    resources=[{
+        "type": "github_repository",
+        "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo",
+        "authorization_token": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"],  # repo clone token (≠ MCP auth)
+        "checkout": {"type": "branch", "name": "main"},
+    }],
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Files API
+
+Upload and manage files for use as session resources, and download files the agent wrote to `/mnt/session/outputs/`.
+
+| Operation        | Method   | Path                                  | SDK |
+| ---------------- | -------- | ------------------------------------- | --- |
+| Upload           | `POST`   | `/v1/files`                           | `client.beta.files.upload({ file })` |
+| List             | `GET`    | `/v1/files?scope_id=...`              | `client.beta.files.list({ scope_id, betas: ["managed-agents-2026-04-01"] })` |
+| Get Metadata     | `GET`    | `/v1/files/{id}`                      | `client.beta.files.retrieveMetadata(id)` |
+| Download         | `GET`    | `/v1/files/{id}/content`              | `client.beta.files.download(id)` → `Response` |
+| Delete           | `DELETE` | `/v1/files/{id}`                      | `client.beta.files.delete(id)` |
+
+The `scope_id` filter on List scopes the results to files written to `/mnt/session/outputs/` by that session. Without the filter, you get all files uploaded to your account.
