Where an application gets its own agent, and its own credentials.
The Claude Developer Platform provides API access for building applications and agents on Anthropic's models, including the tooling around agent behaviour. Our work is scoping integration identities and building inside the permission model.
The developer platform is how custom applications call models directly. Each integration becomes a machine caller, which is an identity to scope rather than a key to paste.
What it is
The Claude Developer Platform provides API access for building applications and agents on Anthropic's models, including the tooling around agent behaviour.
It is for organizations building something bespoke, at the point where the integration acquires credentials and starts acting on internal systems.
What it does
Applications act as machine callers
Which brings them under the same discipline as every other non-human identity.
Agent behaviour is defined in the build
So guardrails belong in the design rather than in a policy document afterwards.
Where it fits
L4, agents and automation, governed at L1. An application calling a model is straightforward. The same application reaching into your systems of record is a machine caller, and that is where scope, ownership, and rotation apply.
What we do with it
Scoping the integration identity
What the application may reach in your estate, designed rather than granted broadly to get it working.
Building it inside the permission model
Where it touches Atlassian, we build on Forge so it inherits governance rather than holding its own keys.
Guardrails and evidence
Stop conditions, audit trail, and cost governance defined with the build.
Where it earns its place
A team building an internal assistant
The prototype uses a broad credential. Production should not.
An organization with several integrations
Each one is a caller, and collectively they are a population nobody has listed.
