How the Claude Agent SDK Works

Dive deep into the Claude Agent SDK, exploring its origins, design, and capabilities. Learn how it evolved from a specialized coding tool to a general-purpose agent framework, and discover the key differences between it and the standard Claude Client SDK. This episode covers permissions, hard limits, hooks, mechanical functionality (file system tools), the agent loop, and security considerations. Built with OpenPod.
