adk-anthropic

Dedicated Anthropic API client for ADK-Rust. Provides the HTTP client, type system, SSE streaming, error handling, backoff logic, and token pricing for the full Anthropic API surface.

Features

• Messages API — non-streaming and SSE streaming with all content block types
• Adaptive thinking — ThinkingConfig::adaptive() for Opus 4.8 / Opus 4.7 / Opus 4.6 / Sonnet 4.6
• Budget-based thinking — ThinkingConfig::enabled(budget) for older models (rejected on Opus 4.8 / Opus 4.7)
• Effort parameter — OutputConfig::with_effort() with low, medium, high, xhigh, max levels
• Structured outputs — JSON schema via OutputConfig / OutputFormat
• Tool calling — custom function tools, server tools (web search, bash, text editor, code execution, memory)
• Prompt caching — automatic (top-level cache_control) and explicit (block-level)
• Context management — ContextManagement with tool result clearing and thinking block clearing (beta)
• Citations — document-level citations with char, page, and content block locations
• Vision — URL and base64 image analysis
• PDF processing — URL, base64, and Files API PDF analysis with citations
• Token counting — /v1/messages/count_tokens endpoint
• Fast mode — speed: "fast" for Opus 4.6 (beta, waitlist)
• Batches API — async batch processing
• Files API — upload, get, delete, list
• Models API — list and get model metadata with capabilities
• Token pricing — per-model cost calculation from Usage data
• Managed Agents — full client for Claude Managed Agents (agents, environments, sessions, SSE streaming, custom tools, vaults, memory stores, dreams, webhooks, multiagent orchestration) — feature-gated behind managed-agents

Supported Models

Any model string not matching a known variant deserializes as Model::Custom(String).

Opus 4.8 / Opus 4.7 Breaking Changes

Opus 4.8 and Opus 4.7 introduce API breaking changes versus Opus 4.6:

• Adaptive thinking only — thinking: {type: "enabled", budget_tokens: N} returns 400. Use ThinkingConfig::adaptive().
• No custom sampling — temperature and top_p parameters are rejected.
• New xhigh effort level — sits between high and max. Recommended for coding and agentic workflows.
• Updated tokenizer — same text may produce 1.0–1.35× more tokens (especially code).

Quick Start

use adk_anthropic::{Anthropic, KnownModel, MessageCreateParams};

#[tokio::main]
async fn main() -> Result<(), Box<dyn std::error::Error>> {
    let client = Anthropic::new(None)?; // reads ANTHROPIC_API_KEY
    let params = MessageCreateParams::simple("Hello!", KnownModel::ClaudeSonnet46);
    let response = client.send(params).await?;
    for block in &response.content {
        if let Some(text) = block.as_text() {
            println!("{}", text.text);
        }
    }
    Ok(())
}

Examples

Run any example with cargo run -p adk-anthropic --example <name>:

Managed Agents Examples

Run with cargo run -p adk-anthropic --example <name> --features managed-agents:

Hello World output:

=== Managed Agents: Hello World ===

✓ Client created
✓ Agent created: agent_01SnYF9JNJR4c1FB1L8YPovY
✓ Environment created: env_01Gdwp4bFCZgGbbnQJLCCVmo
✓ Session created: sesn_01Da6YoDqrgLzkCRVg1DAGjK (status: Idle)
✓ Stream opened

→ Sent: "Hello! What is 2 + 2?"

← Agent response:
4! 😊 Is there anything else I can help you with?

✓ Session idle (stop_reason: end_turn)

Custom Tools output:

→ Sent: "What's the weather like in San Francisco and Tokyo?"

← Processing events:
I'll check the weather in both cities at the same time!
  🔧 Custom tool call: get_weather({"city":"San Francisco"})
  📤 Sending result: 🌤️ Weather in San Francisco: 22°C, partly cloudy
  🔧 Custom tool call: get_weather({"city":"Tokyo"})
  📤 Sending result: 🌤️ Weather in Tokyo: 22°C, partly cloudy

Multiagent output:

✓ Researcher agent created
✓ Writer agent created
✓ Coordinator agent created

→ Sent coordination task

← Processing events:
  ▶ Session running...
  I'll dispatch the Researcher to gather key facts first...
  [Researcher produces structured research]
  [Writer crafts final article from research]

── Session Threads ──
  🧵 Content Coordinator — idle (root)
  🧵 Researcher — idle
  🧵 Writer — idle

Pricing Module

use adk_anthropic::pricing::{ModelPricing, estimate_cost};

let cost = estimate_cost(ModelPricing::SONNET_46, &response.usage);
println!("Cost: ${:.6}", cost.total());

Acknowledgments

This crate was forked from claudius v0.19 by @crisogray, a comprehensive Rust SDK for the Anthropic API licensed under Apache-2.0.

The following components originate from claudius and form the foundation of adk-anthropic:

• HTTP client (client.rs) — the Anthropic struct, request execution, retry logic, custom base URL support
• SSE streaming (sse.rs) — Server-Sent Events parser for streaming responses
• Accumulating stream (accumulating_stream.rs) — stream accumulator for assembling complete messages from SSE deltas
• Backoff (backoff.rs) — exponential backoff with jitter for retryable errors
• Error types (error.rs) — comprehensive error enum with typed variants for all API error classes
• Core type system (types/) — Message, MessageCreateParams, MessageParam, ContentBlock, TextBlock, ToolUseBlock, ToolResultBlock, ImageBlock, DocumentBlock, ThinkingBlock, SystemPrompt, Usage, StopReason, ToolChoice, ToolParam, CacheControlEphemeral, and all serde serialization/deserialization logic
• Client logger (client_logger.rs) — ClientLogger trait for capturing API interactions
• Cache control (cache_control.rs) — cache breakpoint management utilities
• JSON schema (json_schema.rs) — schema utilities

We stripped claudius's agent framework, CLI tools, chat session management, and observability modules (all handled by other ADK crates), then extended the retained code with full March 2026 API parity: adaptive thinking, effort parameter, structured outputs, context management, fast mode, citations, Files API, Skills API, Models API with capabilities, token pricing, and updated model definitions.

Tool Search

ToolSearchConfig enables regex-based tool filtering at the provider level:

use adk_anthropic::ToolSearchConfig;

let config = ToolSearchConfig::new("^(search|fetch)_.*");
assert!(config.matches("search_web").unwrap());
assert!(!config.matches("delete_all").unwrap());

When integrated with AnthropicConfig in adk-model, only tools matching the pattern are sent to the API:

use adk_model::anthropic::AnthropicConfig;
use adk_anthropic::ToolSearchConfig;

let config = AnthropicConfig::new("sk-ant-xxx", "claude-sonnet-4-6")
    .with_tool_search(ToolSearchConfig::new("^safe_.*"));
