notes: >
Anthropic Claude Managed Agents (CMA) webhooks notify your app of long-running
agent session state changes without holding an HTTP connection open. Uses
X-Webhook-Signature header with HMAC-SHA256. Signing secret is a 32-byte
whsec_-prefixed value generated at endpoint creation (shown only once).
Set ANTHROPIC_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_KEY env var. The official Anthropic SDK provides
client.beta.webhooks.unwrap() (Python/TS/Go/C#/Java/PHP/Ruby) which verifies the
signature, rejects payloads older than 5 minutes, and parses the event in one step.
Event payloads return only event type + id — fetch the full object via GET.
Endpoint must return 2xx; anything else (including 3xx) triggers retry.
Common events:
session.status_run_started, session.status_idled, session.status_rescheduled,
session.status_terminated, session.thread_created, session.thread_idled,
session.thread_terminated, session.outcome_evaluation_ended,
vault.created, vault.archived, vault.deleted,
vault_credential.created, vault_credential.archived, vault_credential.deleted,
vault_credential.refresh_failed.
testScenario:
events:
- session.status_idled
- session.outcome_evaluation_ended

# Claude Managed Agents Webhooks

## When to Use This Skill

- Setting up Claude Managed Agents (CMA) webhook handlers
- Debugging Anthropic webhook signature verification failures
- Handling agent session state changes (`session.status_idled`, `session.status_terminated`)
- Reacting to multiagent thread events (`session.thread_created`, `session.thread_idled`)
- Processing vault and credential events (`vault.created`, `vault_credential.refresh_failed`)
- Replacing long-poll loops on the Sessions API with push notifications

## Essential Code (USE THIS)

CMA webhooks follow the [Standard Webhooks](https://www.standardwebhooks.com/) spec. Every delivery carries three headers — `webhook-id`, `webhook-timestamp`, and `webhook-signature` — and is signed with HMAC-SHA256 over `{webhook-id}.{webhook-timestamp}.{raw-body}`. The signing secret is the `whsec_`-prefixed value shown once at endpoint creation. The Anthropic SDK exposes `client.beta.webhooks.unwrap()` which wraps the same verification. Manual verification is shown here because it works in every framework without an extra SDK dependency.

### Express Webhook Handler

```javascript
const express = require('express');
const crypto = require('crypto');

const app = express();

// Standard Webhooks signature verification for Claude Managed Agents
function verifyClaudeSignature(payload, webhookId, webhookTimestamp, webhookSignature, secret) {
if (!webhookId || !webhookTimestamp || !webhookSignature || !webhookSignature.includes(',')) {
return false;
}

// Reject payloads older than 5 minutes to prevent replay attacks
const currentTime = Math.floor(Date.now() / 1000);
const timestampDiff = currentTime - parseInt(webhookTimestamp);
if (timestampDiff > 300 || timestampDiff < -300) {
return false;
}

// webhook-signature can carry multiple space-separated "v1,<sig>" pairs
const payloadStr = payload instanceof Buffer ? payload.toString('utf8') : payload;
const signedContent = `${webhookId}.${webhookTimestamp}.${payloadStr}`;

// whsec_ prefix wraps a base64-encoded 32-byte key
const secretKey = secret.startsWith('whsec_') ? secret.slice(6) : secret;
const secretBytes = Buffer.from(secretKey, 'base64');

const expectedSignature = crypto
.createHmac('sha256', secretBytes)
.update(signedContent, 'utf8')
.digest('base64');

return webhookSignature.split(' ').some(pair => {
const [version, signature] = pair.split(',');
if (version !== 'v1' || !signature) return false;
try {
return crypto.timingSafeEqual(Buffer.from(signature), Buffer.from(expectedSignature));
} catch {
return false;
}
});
}

// CRITICAL: Use express.raw() for webhook endpoint - signature is over raw bytes
app.post('/webhooks/claude-managed-agents',
express.raw({ type: 'application/json' }),
async (req, res) => {
const webhookId = req.headers['webhook-id'];
const webhookTimestamp = req.headers['webhook-timestamp'];
const webhookSignature = req.headers['webhook-signature'];

if (!verifyClaudeSignature(
req.body,
webhookId,
webhookTimestamp,
webhookSignature,
process.env.ANTHROPIC_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_KEY
)) {
return res.status(400).send('Invalid signature');
}

const event = JSON.parse(req.body.toString());

// CMA payloads carry the event type under data.type, not the top-level type
switch (event.data?.type) {
case 'session.status_idled':
console.log('Session idled:', event.data.id);
// Fetch the full session: client.beta.sessions.retrieve(event.data.id)
break;
case 'session.status_terminated':
console.log('Session terminated:', event.data.id);
break;
case 'session.thread_created':
console.log('Multiagent thread created:', event.data.id);
break;
case 'vault_credential.refresh_failed':
console.log('Vault credential refresh failed:', event.data.id);
break;
default:
console.log('Unhandled event:', event.data?.type);
}

res.status(200).json({ received: true });
}
);
```

### Python (FastAPI) Webhook Handler

```python
import os
import hmac
import hashlib
import base64
import time
from fastapi import FastAPI, Request, HTTPException, Header

app = FastAPI()

def verify_claude_signature(
payload: bytes,
webhook_id: str,
webhook_timestamp: str,
webhook_signature: str,
secret: str,
) -> bool:
if not webhook_id or not webhook_timestamp or not webhook_signature or ',' not in webhook_signature:
return False

# Reject payloads older than 5 minutes to prevent replay attacks
try:
timestamp_diff = int(time.time()) - int(webhook_timestamp)
except ValueError:
return False
if timestamp_diff > 300 or timestamp_diff < -300:
return False

signed_content = f"{webhook_id}.{webhook_timestamp}.{payload.decode('utf-8')}"

# whsec_ prefix wraps a base64-encoded 32-byte key
secret_key = secret[6:] if secret.startswith('whsec_') else secret
try:
secret_bytes = base64.b64decode(secret_key)
except Exception:
return False

expected_signature = base64.b64encode(
hmac.new(secret_bytes, signed_content.encode('utf-8'), hashlib.sha256).digest()
).decode('utf-8')

# webhook-signature can carry multiple space-separated "v1,<sig>" pairs
for pair in webhook_signature.split(' '):
parts = pair.split(',', 1)
if len(parts) != 2:
continue
version, signature = parts
if version == 'v1' and hmac.compare_digest(signature, expected_signature):
return True
return False


@app.post("/webhooks/claude-managed-agents")
async def claude_webhook(
request: Request,
webhook_id: str = Header(None, alias="webhook-id"),
webhook_timestamp: str = Header(None, alias="webhook-timestamp"),
webhook_signature: str = Header(None, alias="webhook-signature"),
):
payload = await request.body()
secret = os.environ.get("ANTHROPIC_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_KEY")

if not verify_claude_signature(payload, webhook_id, webhook_timestamp, webhook_signature, secret):
raise HTTPException(status_code=400, detail="Invalid signature")

event = await request.json()
# Handle event.data.type ...
return {"received": True}
```

### Anthropic SDK alternative

If you already use the Anthropic SDK, replace the manual verification with `client.beta.webhooks.unwrap()`. The SDK reads `ANTHROPIC_WEBHOOK_SIGNING_KEY` from the environment, verifies the signature, rejects payloads older than five minutes, and parses the event:

```typescript
import Anthropic from "@anthropic-ai/sdk";
const client = new Anthropic();

// inside your handler, after reading the raw body:
const event = client.beta.webhooks.unwrap(rawBody, { headers });
```

```python
import anthropic
client = anthropic.Anthropic() # requires: pip install "anthropic[webhooks]"

# inside your handler, after reading the raw body:
event = client.beta.webhooks.unwrap(raw_body, headers=dict(request.headers))
```

> - [examples/nextjs/](examples/nextjs/) — Next.js App Router implementation
> - [examples/fastapi/](examples/fastapi/) — Python FastAPI implementation

## Common Event Types

CMA webhooks deliver only the event `type` and `id` — fetch the full object via the API (`client.beta.sessions.retrieve(event.data.id)`). The event type lives under `event.data.type`; the top-level `event.type` is always `"event"`.

### Session events

| Event | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `session.status_run_started` | Agent execution started; fires on every transition to `running`. |
| `session.status_idled` | Agent is awaiting input (tool approval, new user message). |
| `session.status_rescheduled` | Transient error; the session is retrying automatically. |
| `session.status_terminated` | Session hit a terminal error. |
| `session.thread_created` | A new multiagent thread was opened by the coordinator. |
| `session.thread_idled` | A multiagent thread is awaiting input. |
| `session.thread_terminated` | A multiagent thread was archived. |
| `session.outcome_evaluation_ended` | Outcome evaluation finished for a single iteration. |

### Vault events

| Event | Description |
|-------|-------------|
| `vault.created` | Vault successfully created. |
| `vault.archived` | Vault archived (also emits `vault_credential.archived` per credential). |
| `vault.deleted` | Vault deleted (also emits `vault_credential.deleted` per credential). |
| `vault_credential.created` | Credential created. |
| `vault_credential.archived` | Credential archived. |
| `vault_credential.deleted` | Credential deleted. |
| `vault_credential.refresh_failed` | `mcp_oauth` credential cannot be refreshed. |

## Recommended: webhook-handler-patterns

We recommend installing the [webhook-handler-patterns](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/tree/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns) skill alongside this one for handler sequence, idempotency, error handling, and retry logic. Key references (open on GitHub):

- [Handler sequence](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/handler-sequence.md) — Verify first, parse second, handle idempotently third
- [Idempotency](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/idempotency.md) — Use the top-level `event.id` to deduplicate retries
- [Error handling](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/error-handling.md) — Return codes, logging, dead letter queues
- [Retry logic](https://github.com/hookdeck/webhook-skills/blob/main/skills/webhook-handler-patterns/references/retry-logic.md) — Anthropic retries at least once; `3xx` counts as a failure
