Anthropic Managed Agents

important

Anthropic Managed Agents is not supported in UK Prod.

Anthropic Managed Agents are agents you build and run in the Anthropic Console. Connect your Anthropic workspace to the Agent Control Tower to register these agents as a native provider and keep them synced automatically.

The Anthropic Claude provider enables you to:

  • Sync: Automatically keep your Managed Agents catalog current. Agent lifecycle events (Agent.created, Agent.updated, Agent.archived, Agent.deleted) update the agent list in Agent Control Tower as soon as they happen in the Anthropic Console.

  • Monitor: Track invocation counts and token usage for your Managed Agents. Session lifecycle events (Session.status_idled, Session.status_terminated) drive these metrics in the registry.

  • Consolidate: View your Anthropic Claude agents in the Agent Control Tower alongside agents from providers such as Boomi Agent Garden, Amazon Bedrock, and Snowflake Cortex.

note

Each Anthropic workspace can be connected to only one Agent Control Tower provider account globally. The workspace also cannot be your Anthropic organization's Default Workspace. The Default Workspace can not be onboarded on Agent Control Tower.

Connecting to your Anthropic workspace requires registering a webhook in the Anthropic Console so Agent Control Tower can receive agent and session events.

What Agent Control Tower syncs

For each Anthropic Managed Agent, Agent Control Tower catalogs:

  • Agent details and version: Name, description, and version.
  • Model: The underlying Claude model the agent runs on.
  • Instructions: The system prompt or instructions configured for the agent.
  • Tools: The agent's built-in tools, along with each tool's permission policy, MCP toolset and custom tools. For details, refer to Managing Anthropic Claude agents.

Unlike providers that sync on a 30-minute polling interval, Anthropic Managed Agents sync in an event-driven format:

  • Agent lifecycle events (Agent.created, Agent.updated, Agent.archived, Agent.deleted) update the Agent Control Tower catalog as soon as they occur in the Anthropic Console.
  • Session lifecycle events (Session.status_idled, Session.status_terminated) drive invocation and token metrics.

Statuses

Registering the webhook produces a webhook status on the provider account:

  • Verified: A webhook delivery from Anthropic passed signature verification. Sync is working end-to-end.
  • Not Verified: No delivery has passed verification yet. Check that the endpoint URL is correct, all six required events are subscribed, and the signing secret was entered correctly. Refer to Adding an Anthropic Claude provider account.

Changing the Webhook Secret on the Anthropic Console, results in the Webhook status producing a Not Verified status. To verify, enter the new Webhook Secret in your Agent Control Tower provider account.

Agent statuses include:

  • Draft: This is the latest editable version of your agent.
  • Active: Deployed versions of your agents.

Archived agents on the Anthropic Console are considered as Deleted agents in Agent Control Tower.
