Create agent - Automate.ax

anthropic.createAgent creates a reusable, versioned Claude agent definition.

Example

automations/anthropic-create-agent.automation.ts

import { automation, onInvocation, withPrerequisites } from "automate.ax"
import { anthropic } from "automate.ax/anthropic"

export default automation("Create agent", () => {
  withPrerequisites(onInvocation(), () => {
    anthropic.createAgent({
      name: "Repository reviewer",
      model: "claude-sonnet-5",
    })
  })
})

Inputs

Requires name and model. You can also set description, system, tools, mcpServers, skills, multiagent, and up to 16 metadata pairs. Inputs use public camelCase names and accept signals.

Output and behavior

Returns the created agent and version. Creating is not replay-safe after an uncertain response. Anthropic requests time out before the action lease and provider mutations are not retried after an uncertain response unless stated otherwise.
