Configuration for enabling Claude's extended thinking.

When enabled, responses include thinking content blocks showing Claude's thinking process before the final answer. Requires a minimum budget of 1,024 tokens and counts towards your max_tokens limit.

See extended thinking for details.

ToolChoice param.Field[ToolChoiceUnion]optional

How the model should use the provided tools. The model can use a specific tool, any available tool, decide by itself, or not use tools at all.

Tools param.Field[[]ToolUnion]optional

Definitions of tools that the model may use.

If you include tools in your API request, the model may return tool_use content blocks that represent the model's use of those tools. You can then run those tools using the tool input generated by the model and then optionally return results back to the model using tool_result content blocks.

There are two types of tools: client tools and server tools. The behavior described below applies to client tools. For server tools, see their individual documentation as each has its own behavior (e.g., the web search tool).

Each tool definition includes:

name: Name of the tool.
description: Optional, but strongly-recommended description of the tool.
input_schema: JSON schema for the tool input shape that the model will produce in tool_use output content blocks.

For example, if you defined tools as:

[
  {
    "name": "get_stock_price",
    "description": "Get the current stock price for a given ticker symbol.",
    "input_schema": {
      "type": "object",
      "properties": {
        "ticker": {
          "type": "string",
          "description": "The stock ticker symbol, e.g. AAPL for Apple Inc."
        }
      },
      "required": ["ticker"]
    }
  }
]

And then asked the model "What's the S&P 500 at today?", the model might produce tool_use content blocks in the response like this:

[
  {
    "type": "tool_use",
    "id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV",
    "name": "get_stock_price",
    "input": { "ticker": "^GSPC" }
  }
]

You might then run your get_stock_price tool with {"ticker": "^GSPC"} as an input, and return the following back to the model in a subsequent user message:

[
  {
    "type": "tool_result",
    "tool_use_id": "toolu_01D7FLrfh4GYq7yT1ULFeyMV",
    "content": "259.75 USD"
  }
]

Tools can be used for workflows that include running client-side tools and functions, or more generally whenever you want the model to produce a particular JSON structure of output.

See our guide for more details.

DeferLoading booloptional

If true, tool will not be included in initial system prompt. Only loaded when returned via tool_reference from tool search.

Description stringoptional

Description of what this tool does.

Tool descriptions should be as detailed as possible. The more information that the model has about what the tool is and how to use it, the better it will perform. You can use natural language descriptions to reinforce important aspects of the tool input JSON schema.

EagerInputStreaming booloptional

Enable eager input streaming for this tool. When true, tool input parameters will be streamed incrementally as they are generated, and types will be inferred on-the-fly rather than buffering the full JSON output. When false, streaming is disabled for this tool even if the fine-grained-tool-streaming beta is active. When null (default), uses the default behavior based on beta headers.

Content []ContentBlockUnion

Content generated by the model.

This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a type that determines its shape.

Example:

If the request input messages ended with an assistant turn, then the response content will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.

For example, if the input messages were:

[
  {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
  {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
]

Then the response content might be:

[{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]

string

Role Assistant

Conversational role of the generated message.

This will always be "assistant".

StopReason StopReason

The reason that we stopped.

This may be one the following values:

"end_turn": the model reached a natural stopping point
"max_tokens": we exceeded the requested max_tokens or the model's maximum
"stop_sequence": one of your provided custom stop_sequences was generated
"tool_use": the model invoked one or more tools
"pause_turn": we paused a long-running turn. You may provide the response back as-is in a subsequent request to let the model continue.
"refusal": when streaming classifiers intervene to handle potential policy violations

In non-streaming mode this value is always non-null. In streaming mode, it is null in the message_start event and non-null otherwise.

Accepts one of the following:

const StopReasonEndTurn StopReason = "end_turn"

const StopReasonMaxTokens StopReason = "max_tokens"

const StopReasonStopSequence StopReason = "stop_sequence"

const StopReasonToolUse StopReason = "tool_use"

const StopReasonPauseTurn StopReason = "pause_turn"

const StopReasonRefusal StopReason = "refusal"

StopSequence string

Which custom stop sequence was generated, if any.

This value will be a non-null string if one of your custom stop sequences was generated.

Type Message

Object type.

For Messages, this is always "message".

Usage Usage

Billing and rate-limit usage.

Anthropic's API bills and rate-limits by token counts, as tokens represent the underlying cost to our systems.

Under the hood, the API transforms requests into a format suitable for the model. The model's output then goes through a parsing stage before becoming an API response. As a result, the token counts in usage will not match one-to-one with the exact visible content of an API request or response.

For example, output_tokens will be non-zero, even for an empty string response from Claude.

Total input tokens in a request is the summation of input_tokens, cache_creation_input_tokens, and cache_read_input_tokens.

CacheCreation CacheCreation

Breakdown of cached tokens by TTL

Ephemeral1hInputTokens int64

The number of input tokens used to create the 1 hour cache entry.

Ephemeral5mInputTokens int64

The number of input tokens used to create the 5 minute cache entry.

CacheCreationInputTokens int64

The number of input tokens used to create the cache entry.

CacheReadInputTokens int64

The number of input tokens read from the cache.

InferenceGeo string

The geographic region where inference was performed for this request.

InputTokens int64

The number of input tokens which were used.

OutputTokens int64

The number of output tokens which were used.

ServerToolUse ServerToolUsage

The number of server tool requests.

WebFetchRequests int64

The number of web fetch tool requests.

WebSearchRequests int64

The number of web search tool requests.

ServiceTier UsageServiceTier

If the request used the priority, standard, or batch tier.

Accepts one of the following:

const UsageServiceTierStandard UsageServiceTier = "standard"

const UsageServiceTierPriority UsageServiceTier = "priority"

const UsageServiceTierBatch UsageServiceTier = "batch"

type MessageStreamEventUnion interface{…}

Accepts one of the following:

type MessageStartEvent struct{…}

Message Message

ID string

Unique object identifier.

The format and length of IDs may change over time.

Container Container

Information about the container used in the request (for the code execution tool)

ID string

Identifier for the container used in this request

ExpiresAt Time

The time at which the container will expire.

Content []ContentBlockUnion

Content generated by the model.

This is an array of content blocks, each of which has a type that determines its shape.

Example:

[{"type": "text", "text": "Hi, I'm Claude."}]

If the request input messages ended with an assistant turn, then the response content will continue directly from that last turn. You can use this to constrain the model's output.

For example, if the input messages were:

[
  {"role": "user", "content": "What's the Greek name for Sun? (A) Sol (B) Helios (C) Sun"},
  {"role": "assistant", "content": "The best answer is ("}
]

Then the response content might be:

[{"type": "text", "text": "B)"}]
