What is sdk-python?
- sdk-python is an Agent SDK or runtime for tool calls, state, handoffs, tracing, and evaluation boundaries.
- Best fit: Developers building observable, testable, multi-tool agent applications.
- Not for: Not for one prompt, simple API calls, or environments that cannot isolate tool permissions.
- Capability added to an AI workflow: Agent runtime preflights, tool permissions, state/handoff boundaries, trace acceptance, and evaluation checks
- First safe verification step: Verify one minimal agent loop with fake tools and temporary credentials first.
- Verification state: source, Quick Start, and sandbox install checks are recorded as passed.
- Top risk: The main risk is unisolated tool permissions, handoff state, or trace data entering production.
- Evidence base: https://github.com/strands-agents/sdk-python, https://github.com/strands-agents/sdk-python#readme, Human Manual, Pitfall Log

Preflight checks
Treat this page as a planning asset, not proof that your local environment is ready.- The manual is generated from source-linked project files and Doramagic validation signals.
- Community evidence warnings stay visible instead of being converted into marketing claims.
- This English page is indexable because the locale quality gate passed and explicit English index approval is enabled.
- Use the upstream repository as the final authority for installation commands, license, and version-specific behavior.
