Decision

What the current evidence supports

Human editorial judgment · 2026-08-20

Adopt with guardrails

Why
Maturity and ecosystem activity are the strongest of the three (Bedrock/Vertex/Azure auth, hooks, subagents, MCP, resumable sessions) and it already underpins our tooling — but production-hardening is explicitly left to the builder and billing is in flux, so guardrails are mandatory.
Next
Wrap SDK usage with hard max_turns + cost caps, durable state (Postgres/Redis), and strict tool permissioning before any unattended/cron deployment; pin billing assumptions until the credit-pool change resettles.
