That day's lede
Claude Managed Agents gain session budgets, an advisor mode, and data-residency controls
On Aug 7, Anthropic added four capabilities to Claude Managed Agents on the Developer Platform: session budgets that hard-cap spend at public list rates and pause a session with a budget_reached stop reason when hit; an "advisor" role letting the primary agent consult a separate, at-least-as-capable model mid-turn for strategic guidance; per-agent data residency control via inference_geo, letting teams choose where inference runs; and automatic loading of skills from a session's mounted GitHub repository. Together the updates give teams building long-running agents on the platform much finer control over cost, geography, and capability.
