+# Managed Agents — Python
+
+> **Bindings not shown here:** This README covers the most common managed-agents flows for Python. If you need a class, method, namespace, field, or behavior that isn't shown, WebFetch the Python SDK repo **or the relevant docs page** from `shared/live-sources.md` rather than guess. Do not extrapolate from cURL shapes or another language's SDK.
+
+> **Agents are persistent — create once, reference by ID.** Store the agent ID returned by `agents.create` and pass it to every subsequent `sessions.create`; do not call `agents.create` in the request path. The Anthropic CLI is one convenient way to create agents and environments from version-controlled YAML — its URL is in `shared/live-sources.md`. The examples below show in-code creation for completeness; in production the create call belongs in setup, not in the request path.
+
+## Installation
+
+```bash
+pip install anthropic
+```
+
+## Client Initialization
+
+```python
+import anthropic
+
+# Default — resolves credentials from the environment:
+# ANTHROPIC_API_KEY, or ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN, or an `ant auth login` profile.
+# Prefer this for local dev; don't hardcode a key.
+client = anthropic.Anthropic()
+
+# Explicit API key (only when you must inject a specific key)
+client = anthropic.Anthropic(api_key="your-api-key")
+```
+
+---
+
+## Create an Environment
+
+```python
+environment = client.beta.environments.create(
+    name="my-dev-env",
+    config={
+        "type": "cloud",
+        "networking": {"type": "unrestricted"},
+    },
+)
+print(environment.id)  # env_...
+```
+
+---
+
+## Create an Agent (required first step)
+
+> ⚠️ **There is no inline agent config.** `model`/`system`/`tools` live on the agent object, not the session. Always start with `agents.create()` — the session only takes `agent={"type": "agent", "id": agent.id}`.
+
+### Minimal
+
+```python
+# 1. Create the agent (reusable, versioned)
+agent = client.beta.agents.create(
+    name="Coding Assistant",
+    model="claude-opus-4-8",
+    tools=[{"type": "agent_toolset_20260401", "default_config": {"enabled": True}}],
+)
+
+# 2. Start a session
+session = client.beta.sessions.create(
+    agent={"type": "agent", "id": agent.id, "version": agent.version},
+    environment_id=environment.id,
+)
+print(session.id, session.status)
+print(f"Trace: https://platform.claude.com/workspaces/default/sessions/{session.id}")
+```
+
+### With system prompt and custom tools
+
+```python
+import os
+
+agent = client.beta.agents.create(
+    name="Code Reviewer",
+    model="claude-opus-4-8",
+    system="You are a senior code reviewer.",
+    tools=[
+        {"type": "agent_toolset_20260401"},
+        {
+            "type": "custom",
+            "name": "run_tests",
+            "description": "Run the test suite",
+            "input_schema": {
+                "type": "object",
+                "properties": {
+                    "test_path": {"type": "string", "description": "Path to test file"}
+                },
+                "required": ["test_path"],
+            },
+        },
+    ],
+)
+
+session = client.beta.sessions.create(
+    agent={"type": "agent", "id": agent.id, "version": agent.version},
+    environment_id=environment.id,
+    title="Code review session",
+    resources=[
+        {
+            "type": "github_repository",
+            "url": "https://github.com/owner/repo",
+            "mount_path": "/workspace/repo",
+            "authorization_token": os.environ["GITHUB_TOKEN"],
+            "branch": "main",
+        }
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Send a User Message
+
+```python
+client.beta.sessions.events.send(
+    session_id=session.id,
+    events=[
+        {
+            "type": "user.message",
+            "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "Review the auth module"}],
+        }
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+> 💡 **Stream-first:** Open the stream *before* (or concurrently with) sending the message. The stream only delivers events that occur after it opens — stream-after-send means early events arrive buffered in one batch. See [Steering Patterns](../../shared/managed-agents-events.md#steering-patterns).
+
+---
+
+## Stream Events (SSE)
+
+```python
+import json
+
+# Stream-first: open stream, then send while stream is live
+with client.beta.sessions.events.stream(
+    session_id=session.id,
+) as stream:
+    client.beta.sessions.events.send(
+        session_id=session.id,
+        events=[{"type": "user.message", "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "..."}]}],
+    )
+    for event in stream:
+        ...  # process events
+
+# Standalone stream iteration:
+with client.beta.sessions.events.stream(
+    session_id=session.id,
+) as stream:
+    for event in stream:
+        if event.type == "agent.message":
+            for block in event.content:
+                if block.type == "text":
+                    print(block.text, end="", flush=True)
+        elif event.type == "agent.custom_tool_use":
+            # Custom tool invocation — session is now idle
+            print(f"\nCustom tool call: {event.name}")
+            print(f"Input: {json.dumps(event.input)}")
+            # Send result back (see below)
+        elif event.type == "session.status_idle":
+            print("\n--- Agent idle ---")
+        elif event.type == "session.status_terminated":
+            print("\n--- Session terminated ---")
+            break
+```
+
+---
+
+## Provide Custom Tool Result
+
+```python
+client.beta.sessions.events.send(
+    session_id=session.id,
+    events=[
+        {
+            "type": "user.custom_tool_result",
+            "custom_tool_use_id": "sevt_abc123",
+            "content": [{"type": "text", "text": "All 42 tests passed."}],
+        }
+    ],
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## Poll Events
+
+```python
+events = client.beta.sessions.events.list(
+    session_id=session.id,
+)
+for event in events.data:
+    print(f"{event.type}: {event.id}")
+```
+
+> ⚠️ **Prefer the SDK over raw `requests`/`httpx`.** If you hand-roll a poll loop, don't assume `timeout=(5, 60)` or `httpx.Timeout(120)` caps total call duration — both are **per-chunk** read timeouts (reset on every byte), so a trickling response can block forever. For a hard wall-clock deadline, track `time.monotonic()` at the loop level and bail explicitly, or wrap with `asyncio.wait_for()`. See [Receiving Events](../../shared/managed-agents-events.md#receiving-events).
+

+
+## Full Streaming Loop with Custom Tools
+
+```python
+import json
+
+
+def run_custom_tool(tool_name: str, tool_input: dict) -> str:
+    """Execute a custom tool and return the result."""
+    if tool_name == "run_tests":
+        # Your tool implementation here
+        return "All tests passed."
+    return f"Unknown tool: {tool_name}"
+
+
+def run_session(client, session_id: str):
+    """Stream events and handle custom tool calls."""
+    while True:
+        with client.beta.sessions.events.stream(
+            session_id=session_id,
+        ) as stream:
+            tool_calls = []
+            for event in stream:
+                if event.type == "agent.message":
+                    for block in event.content:
+                        if block.type == "text":
+                            print(block.text, end="", flush=True)
+                elif event.type == "agent.custom_tool_use":
+                    tool_calls.append(event)
+                elif event.type == "session.status_idle":
+                    break
+                elif event.type == "session.status_terminated":
+                    return
+
+        if not tool_calls:
+            break
+
+        # Process custom tool calls
+        results = []
+        for call in tool_calls:
+            result = run_custom_tool(call.name, call.input)
+            results.append({
+                "type": "user.custom_tool_result",
+                "custom_tool_use_id": call.id,
+                "content": [{"type": "text", "text": result}],
+            })
+
+        client.beta.sessions.events.send(
+            session_id=session_id,
+            events=results,
+        )
+```
+
+---
+
+## Upload a File
+
+```python
+with open("data.csv", "rb") as f:
+    file = client.beta.files.upload(
+        file=f,
+    )
+
+# Use in a session
+session = client.beta.sessions.create(
+    agent={"type": "agent", "id": agent.id, "version": agent.version},
+    environment_id=environment.id,
+    resources=[{"type": "file", "file_id": file.id, "mount_path": "/workspace/data.csv"}],
+)
+```
+
+---
+
+## List and Download Session Files
+
+List files the agent wrote to `/mnt/session/outputs/` during a session, then download them.
+
+```python
+# List files associated with a session
+files = client.beta.files.list(
+    scope_id=session.id,
+    betas=["managed-agents-2026-04-01"],
+)
+for f in files.data:
+    print(f.filename, f.size_bytes)
+    # Download each file and save to disk
+    file_content = client.beta.files.download(f.id)
+    file_content.write_to_file(f.filename)
+```
+
+> 💡 There's a brief indexing lag (~1–3s) between `session.status_idle` and output files appearing in `files.list`. Retry once or twice if the list is empty.
+
+---
+
+## Session Management
+
+```python
+# Get session details
+session = client.beta.sessions.retrieve(session_id="sesn_011CZxAbc123Def456")
+print(session.status, session.usage)
+
+# List sessions
+sessions = client.beta.sessions.list()
+
+# Delete a session
+client.beta.sessions.delete(session_id="sesn_011CZxAbc123Def456")
+
+# Archive a session
+client.beta.sessions.archive(session_id="sesn_011CZxAbc123Def456")
+```
+
+---
+
+## MCP Server Integration
+
+```python
+# Agent declares MCP server (no auth here — auth goes in a vault)
+agent = client.beta.agents.create(
+    name="MCP Agent",
+    model="claude-opus-4-8",
+    mcp_servers=[
+        {"type": "url", "name": "my-tools", "url": "https://my-mcp-server.example.com/sse"},
+    ],
+    tools=[
+        {"type": "agent_toolset_20260401", "default_config": {"enabled": True}},
+        {"type": "mcp_toolset", "mcp_server_name": "my-tools"},
+    ],
+)
+
+# Session attaches vault(s) containing credentials for those MCP server URLs
+session = client.beta.sessions.create(
+    agent=agent.id,
+    environment_id=environment.id,
+    vault_ids=[vault.id],
+)
+```
+
+See `shared/managed-agents-tools.md` §Vaults for creating vaults and adding credentials.
