Introducing Claude Managed Agents with Modal Sandboxes

Modal and Anthropic have introduced an integration that lets Claude Managed Agents execute tool calls in self-hosted Modal Sandboxes while Anthropic continues to host the agent loop and manage session state. The arrangement separates orchestration from code execution, an architecture Modal argues improves security boundaries, observability, failure handling, and scalability. Modal Sandboxes provide customizable container images, rapid cold starts, persistence through volumes and snapshots, usage-based burst pricing, network controls, and support for up to 100,000 concurrent sandboxes with configurable CPU, memory, and GPU resources. Companies including Mason AI, DoorDash, and Blend are evaluating or using related Modal and Claude tooling for secure enterprise automation, merchant-facing agent systems, and engineering support triage across complex environments. Modal has also released CLI-agent and Slack-bot reference implementations to help developers build production deployments using the combined platform.
