Lo que aprenderás

  • Implement an agent loop with parallel tool calls, error results and safe stop conditions
  • Build an eval harness that compares versions by category and catches regressions
  • Put permission gates, human approval and untrusted-content handling in front of side effects
  • Deliver a documented production-style agent: design, tool schemas, eval plan and safety controls

Sobre este curso

Large language models are moving from chat windows into products: assistants that look up real data, take actions and work through multi-step tasks. Building them so that they are reliable, affordable and safe takes more than a good prompt. You need to understand the API, design tools, own or choose an agent loop, and prove with evaluations that the result works.

In this hands-on course you build a support-and-operations agent for a fictional logistics company on the Claude API. You will handle every stop reason and error, write system prompts and structured outputs, use prompt caching, implement the agent loop and the SDK Tool Runner, connect tools through the Model Context Protocol, and compare your own loop with Managed Agents and the Claude Agent SDK. Practices run in your browser against a simulator with the shape of the real SDK; labs on your own computer use the real API.

The course prepares you for Mastery Certified: AI Agent Developer (Claude), an independent certification, with a practice exam and the final project the certification requires. You finish with a documented, production-style agent: its design, tool schemas, eval plan and safety controls.

Objetivos del curso

  • Design tools, implement agent loops and choose between workflows and agents
  • Connect tools and data through the Model Context Protocol and choose an agent platform
  • Evaluate, observe and secure agents against prompt injection and excessive agency

Habilidades que desarrollarás

  • AI Agents
  • LLM Application Development
  • Model Context Protocol (MCP)

The Mastery Certifications academic team designs, reviews and maintains every course in the catalog. Each course is checked by a subject-matter instructor before it is published, and its practice exercises are verified automatically.

Preguntas frecuentes

Is this an official Anthropic certification?

No. Mastery Certified: AI Agent Developer (Claude) is an independent certification by Mastery Certifications. It is not affiliated with, endorsed by or an official certification of Anthropic. Claude is a product of Anthropic, PBC.

Does the course include the certification exam?

The course prepares you for it with a practice exam and the final project that the certification requires. The graded certification exam is taken separately on the platform.

Do I need an API key?

Not for the practices: they run in your browser against a simulator with the same shape as the Anthropic Python SDK, with no key and no cost. The labs on your own computer and the final project use the real API with your own key.
