Claude Agent SDK overview
Anthropic's programmatic SDK for hosting agentic loops. Distinct from Claude Code (the CLI/TUI). The SDK exposes the agent loop primitives — turns, tool-call dispatch, context management — without bundling a user-facing presentation. Consumers (other agents, applications, services) provide their own platform extensibility and UI.
