Update claude-api skill: Managed Agents July launch wave, partner pricing, tool-runner corrections (#1463)
Syncs the claude-api skill with the current upstream source.
## Managed Agents — five new features
- `effort` on the agent's `model` object (a level string or `{"type": "<level>"}`).
It is agent-configuration only: setting it in a per-session `model` override is
silently ignored.
- Optional `version` on agent update, for optimistic concurrency. Omit it for
last-write-wins.
- `initial_events` on session create, collapsing create plus first send into one
call. Validation is all-or-nothing and only `user.message` and
`user.define_outcome` are accepted.
- Environment and memory-store webhooks: four `environment.*` events and three
`memory_store.*` events.
- Event deltas on per-thread streams. Previews are thread-scoped, so a child
thread's previews never reach the session-level stream.
## Corrections to behavior the skill already documented
- Tool output offload triggers at 100,000 characters (~25k tokens), not 100K
tokens, and covers built-in tools rather than MCP alone.
- `system.message` works on four models, checks only the primary model, appends
system context instead of replacing the prompt, and is accepted during a
`requires_action` idle when it trails a tool result in the same request.
- Vault-to-MCP credential matching is normalized (scheme and host lowercased,
default ports and trailing slashes stripped), not byte-exact.
- Multiagent depth greater than 1 is a validation error, not silently ignored.
- Outcome `interrupted` fires even when evaluation never started, and then
carries an empty-string `outcome_evaluation_start_id`.
- Deployment jitter is 15% of the run interval, floor 5s, cap 9 minutes.
- Webhooks retry three times with jittered 5-120s backoff, then drop silently.
Auto-disable is duration-based with three named triggers.
- `session.status_terminated` means completion or error.
- `agent.thinking` is a progress signal and carries no thinking content.
- `processed_at` is already populated on first sighting for
`user.define_outcome`, `user.custom_tool_result`, and `user.tool_result`.
- Session creation does not provision the sandbox.
- Skill `version` applies to Anthropic-authored skills too.
- Console-created vault credentials are header-injection only, and vault
environment-variable substitution skips secrets in URL paths.
- Console trace URLs need the real workspace ID when the API key is not in the
Default workspace.
## Elsewhere in the skill
- Note partner pricing under the first-party price table: Microsoft Foundry
bills at standard API rates, while Amazon Bedrock and Vertex AI are
partner-operated with separate pricing.
- Correct the tool-runner human-in-the-loop guidance, which previously pointed
readers at the manual loop for approval gates the runner's per-turn hooks
already cover.
- Repoint links away from the retired documentation hosts.
- Dedupe eagerly loaded SKILL.md content that the per-section files already
cover.

The same delegated task is an `agent.thread_message_sent` on the primary stream and an `agent.thread_message_received` on the child's own stream.

## Previewing a subagent's text
|
||||
|
||||
Each thread's stream accepts the same `event_deltas[]` parameter as the session-level stream, so you can watch a subagent's text as the model generates it:
|
||||
|
||||
```
|
||||
GET /v1/sessions/{sid}/threads/{tid}/stream?event_deltas%5B%5D=agent.message
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**Previews are thread-scoped.** A child's previews are delivered only on that child's stream and never cross-posted to the session-level stream, whose previews stay scoped to the primary thread. So watching a subagent live means opening its thread stream — the session stream will not show it, no matter what you pass.
|
||||
|
||||
> ⚠️ **Only plain assistant text previews.** A subagent's *reply to its coordinator* rides `agent.thread_message_sent` and is never previewed. A worker that does nothing but report back therefore streams no deltas at all, even with a correct opt-in on the right thread. To get a live preview out of a subagent, its prompt has to make it write the answer as a plain assistant message in its own thread first, and only then report to the coordinator. Run one accumulator per connection, and exit the read loop on `session.thread_status_idle`. Opt-in, accumulate, and reconcile details: `shared/managed-agents-events.md` → Live previews.

## Interrupting and archiving threads
|
||||
|
||||
- **`user.interrupt` without `session_thread_id` interrupts every non-archived thread in the session, including the primary** — it is not a primary-only stop. Pass `session_thread_id` to target one thread.
|
||||
- **Against a child thread blocked on `requires_action`**, the interrupt closes each pending tool call with an *error* tool result (`"Tool execution was interrupted before completion. Please retry."`) and re-emits `session.thread_status_idle` with `stop_reason: end_turn` directly — the model is not sampled. Against a thread already `idle`, the interrupt is a no-op.
|
||||
- **Archive requires the thread to be idle, and `requires_action` counts as idle** — a thread parked on a pending tool call can be archived directly. Only a *running* thread must be interrupted first.
|
||||

## Pitfalls
|
||||
|
||||
- **Don't put the roster on `sessions.create()` or in `tools[]`.** `multiagent` is a top-level agent field; update the coordinator, then start a session that references it.
|
||||
- **Don't assume shared context.** Threads share the filesystem but not conversation history or tools. If the coordinator needs a subagent to act on something, it must say so in the delegated message (or write it to disk).
|
||||
- **Depth > 1 is ignored.** A subagent's own `multiagent` roster (if any) doesn't cascade — only the session's coordinator delegates.
|
||||
- **Depth > 1 is a validation error.** Rostering an agent that itself carries a `multiagent.agents` roster fails the create or update — only the session's coordinator delegates.
