# 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) |
|
||||
| `package_managers_and_custom` | Package managers + custom `allowed_hosts` |
|
||||
|
||||
```json
|
||||
{
|
||||
"networking": {
|
||||
"type": "package_managers_and_custom",
|
||||
"allowed_hosts": ["api.example.com"]
|
||||
}
|
||||
}
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
**MCP caveat:** If using restricted networking, make sure `allowed_hosts` includes your MCP server domains. 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" },
|
||||
},
|
||||
});
|
||||
```
|
||||
|
||||
### 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` | Read-only. New sessions can't be created; existing ones continue. |
|
||||
|
||||
---
|
||||
|
||||
## Resources
|
||||
|
||||
Attach files and GitHub repositories 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.
|
||||
|
||||
### 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"),
|
||||
purpose: "agent",
|
||||
});
|
||||
|
||||
// 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: session.id })) {
|
||||
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/`.
|
||||
- `session_id` is a query filter on `files.list` (not yet in SDK types — cast or spread through).
|
||||
- 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.
|
||||
|
||||
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.
|
||||
|
||||
**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
|
||||
|
||||
> ‼️ **To generate pull requests** you also need GitHub **MCP server** access — the `github_repository` resource gives filesystem access only. See `shared/managed-agents-tools.md` → MCP Servers. The PR workflow is: edit files in the mounted repo → push branch via `bash` → create PR via MCP `create_pull_request` tool.
|
||||
|
||||
**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-4-6',
|
||||
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-4-6",
|
||||
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?session_id=...` | `client.beta.files.list({ session_id })` |
|
||||
| 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 `session_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.
