Reviewer scorecard
“First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.”
“Instant GraphQL API from a schema definition. Edge deployment and federation are well-designed.”
“Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.”
“GraphQL is losing mindshare to tRPC and REST. Building a platform around GraphQL is a risky bet.”
“Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.”
“Edge-first GraphQL with AI gateway is an interesting combination. The gateway approach could be the differentiator.”
