Choosing a build path

The three paths for building with Claude differ in how much control you keep and how much of the implementation you offload to Anthropic. The Messages API gives you the most control: you write the agent loop and run your own tools and infrastructure. The Claude Agent SDK sits in between, providing the agent loop and tool execution in a process you operate. With Claude Managed Agents, you offload the most: Anthropic hosts the agent loop, tool execution, and runtime for you.
