The model is served the family's tool with any members disabled via configs removed from its schema. Every member is enabled by default, zoom included. The single-tool options display_number and enable_zoom are not fields of a toolset entry — it carries only type, configs, and cache_control; zoom is controlled via configs.zoom.enabled.

ComputerToolsetConfigs object{ type, cursor_position, double_click, 14 more }

Per-member configuration for computer_toolset_20260801: one optional field per member tool, keyed by the member name — the same name the member's tool_use blocks carry. Every member is an accepted key, and a member's defaults apply wherever its key is absent. Unknown keys are rejected: the field set is this toolset version's complete member set.

ComputerTripleClickConfig object{ defer_loading, enabled }

triple_click's config overrides.

defer_loading: optional boolean or null

Defer loading for this member. Must resolve to the same value on every enabled member of the toolset.

cache_miss_reason: CacheMissReason or null

Explains why the prompt cache could not fully reuse the prefix from the request identified by diagnostics.previous_message_id. null means diagnosis is still pending — the response was serialized before the background comparison completed.

previous_message_id: optional string or null

The id (msg_...) from this client's previous /v1/messages response.

ImageBlockParam object{ type: "image", source, cache_control, transformations }
ImageTransformationsParam object{ oversized_image }

Configures the transformations the server applies to this image before the model observes it. Each key names a condition the server transforms images for; its value selects the transformation applied. Omitted keys keep their default behavior, and an empty object is equivalent to omitting the field.

oversized_image: optional "downsize" or "error"

What the server does when this image exceeds the model's maximum image size. "downsize" (the default) scales the image down to fit, which changes the dimensions the model observes without telling you. "error" instead rejects the request with a 400 error naming the image's dimensions and the largest dimensions that fit, so you can scale the image deliberately — your image is never silently scaled down.

Number of output tokens the model generated as internal reasoning, including the thinking-block delimiter tokens.

MessagesBatches

Create a Message Batch
POST/v1/messages/batches

Send a batch of Message creation requests.

Retrieve a Message Batch
GET/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}

This endpoint is idempotent and can be used to poll for Message Batch completion. To access the results of a Message Batch, make a request to the results_url field in the response.

List Message Batches
GET/v1/messages/batches

List all Message Batches within a Workspace. Most recently created batches are returned first.

Cancel a Message Batch
POST/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}/cancel

Batches may be canceled any time before processing ends. Once cancellation is initiated, the batch enters a canceling state, at which time the system may complete any in-progress, non-interruptible requests before finalizing cancellation.

Delete a Message Batch
DELETE/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}
Retrieve Message Batch results
GET/v1/messages/batches/{message_batch_id}/results

Streams the results of a Message Batch as a .jsonl file.
