Anthropic adds code execution, MCP connector, Files API, and caching

Anthropic announced four API capabilities for agents: a code-execution tool, an MCP connector, a Files API, and extended prompt caching. The release described hosted computation, remote-tool connections, persistent files, and longer context, each with its own access, data-lifecycle, availability, billing, adoption, and developer implementation considerations.

Engineering relevance

These primitives reduce implementation work but concentrate powerful permissions. Hypler should assess sandbox limits, connector identity, file lifecycle, data retention, and cache invalidation before use.
