The reviews

First-party SDK with excellent TypeScript support. Tool use and streaming work flawlessly. The agent loop is well-designed.

Helpful?

Using the official SDK reduces risk of breaking changes. The agent patterns are production-tested by Anthropic themselves.

Helpful?

Anthropic's approach to safe, capable agents sets the standard. The SDK makes best practices the default path.
