class BetaBrowserStateBlockParam:

The caller's browser state after a browser toolset member call — the full inventory of open tabs, which tab is active, and any side effects (tabs opened, download state changes) the call produced.

At most one per tool_result, only on a non-error result answering a browser toolset member tool_use. The server renders the model-visible text from it; the model never sees the raw fields.

class BetaBrowserStateChange: union

A tab this call's execution opened that remains open at its end — the creation delta of the tabs inventory, not an event log.

Carries only the tab_id; the tab's title and url live on its tabs entry, which must include the same tab_id. A tab opened during a failed call gets no deferred tab_opened; it simply appears in the next result's tabs inventory.

class BetaBrowserStateChangeDownloadCompleted:

A file download that finished during this call, reported with the same download_id as its download_started — or without a prior download_started, when the download finished during the call that started it (at most one state change per download_id per result).

String downloadId

The caller-assigned identifier for this download, stable across the state changes reporting it.

maxLength4096

class BetaBrowserStateChangeTabOpened:

A tab this call's execution opened that remains open at its end — the creation delta of the tabs inventory, not an event log.

Carries only the tab_id; the tab's title and url live on its tabs entry, which must include the same tab_id. A tab opened during a failed call gets no deferred tab_opened; it simply appears in the next result's tabs inventory.

String tabId

The tab_id of the opened tab, present in tabs.

minLength1
pattern^[^\x00-\x1f\x7f-\x9f\u2028\u2029]*$
JsonValue type = "tab_opened"
class BetaBrowserStateTabEntry:

One open browser tab reported in a browser_state block's tabs inventory.

tab_id is the caller-assigned identifier for the tab; title and url describe the page the tab is currently showing and may be empty strings (a blank tab legitimately has both empty). active marks the tab that is active after this call; whenever tabs is non-empty, exactly one entry is marked.

String tabId

The caller-assigned identifier for this tab, unique within the inventory.

maxLength4096

class BetaFallbackBlock:

Marks the point in content where one model's output gives way to the next.

One block appears per hop where a preceding model actually ran this turn and declined. A turn where no preceding model ran and declined has no such boundary and carries no block — the signal for whether a fallback model served the response is the presence of a fallback_message entry in usage.iterations, not this block.

The block is treated like a server-tool content block for streaming: it arrives via the standard content_block_start / content_block_stop pair and carries no deltas.

class BetaFallbackBlockParam:

A fallback block echoed back from a prior response.

Accepted in messages[].content and not rendered into the prompt; not validated against the request's fallbacks chain or top-level model.

Echo the assistant turn back verbatim, including this block in its original position. The block marks the boundary between content produced before and after a fallback hop, and the server relies on that boundary to validate the turn: when thinking runs flank the boundary, omitting the block merges them into one span the server cannot validate (the request is rejected), and moving it into the middle of a single run is likewise rejected; between non-thinking blocks the block's placement has no validation effect.

Identifies one hop of a fallback transition.

Optional<List<String>> removeToRedeem

Request fields to remove before retrying, so the retry can redeem this token.

Present exactly when reason is variant_fields_present — never null, never an empty array; absent otherwise. Fields are named only from your own request, and only after the sealed variant hash matched. A served best-effort retry has already been billed at normal price; nothing redeems retroactively, but a corrected re-send inside the token's five-minute window can still redeem.

class BetaFallbackCreditTokenParam:

Object form of fallback_credit_token: the token plus a redemption mode.

Requires anthropic-beta: fallback-credit-2026-07-01; without that header the field accepts the bare string only. The bare string and the mode-less object are equivalent (both select strict), so wrapping an existing token changes nothing by itself.

Optional<Mode> mode

How a failing token affects the retry. strict (the default, and the bare-string behavior): a failing redemption is a 400 and the retry is not served. best_effort: the retry is served either way — a token-layer failure no longer rejects the request; the retry proceeds at normal price and the outcome is reported on the response's usage.fallback_credit. Two failures stay hard in both modes: a malformed token, and combining fallback_credit_token with fallbacks.

One of the following:

class BetaFallbackRefusalTrigger:

The from model declined for policy reasons.

Optional<Category> category

The policy category that triggered a refusal.

One of the following:
CYBER("cyber")

The request could enable cyber harm, such as malware or exploit development. Benign cybersecurity work can also trigger this category.

BIO("bio")

The request could enable biological harm, such as dangerous lab methods. Beneficial life sciences work can also trigger this category.

FRONTIER_LLM("frontier_llm")

The request could assist the development of competing AI models, which is restricted under Anthropic's commercial terms. Benign machine learning work can also trigger this category.

REASONING_EXTRACTION("reasoning_extraction")

The request asks the model to reproduce its internal reasoning in the response text. To get reasoning in a structured form instead, use adaptive thinking.

class BetaImageTransformationsParam:

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.

Optional<OversizedImage> oversizedImage

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.

class BetaThinkingConfigParam: union

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.

class BetaThinkingDelta:
Optional<Long> estimatedTokens

Per-frame increment of a coarse, running estimate of the tokens this thinking block has produced so far. Present whenever the thinking-token-count-2026-05-13 beta is set; null unless thinking.display resolves to "omitted" and a count is due this frame. Sum the increments across thinking_delta frames on this block for a progress indicator. Each increment is a non-negative multiple of a fixed quantum and the cadence is rate-limited, so this is a deliberately lossy display hint, not a billable count; usage.output_tokens remains authoritative.

String thinking

The incremental thinking text for this content block. Concatenate the thinking values of successive thinking_delta events to assemble the block's full thinking value.

JsonValue type = "thinking_delta"
class BetaThinkingDroppedInputTransformation:
String path

Where the removed block was in your request, as messages.{i}.content.{j}: i indexes the messages array you sent and j that message's content array — the same form error messages use.

Reason reason

Which binding check removed the block: model_binding_mismatch — it was created by a model whose reasoning the requested model may not read; prefix_binding_mismatch — the conversation before it differs from the conversation it was created in (the rest of that turn's consecutive thinking blocks are removed with it, each with this reason); organization_binding_mismatch — it was created under a different organization (an Anthropic organization, AWS account or Google Cloud project) and this organization is not one of its additional organizations; end_user_binding_mismatch — it was created for a different end user, or was removed by the consumer-organization binding. A block that would fail several checks reports one reason, in this order of precedence: organization_binding_mismatch, end_user_binding_mismatch, model_binding_mismatch, prefix_binding_mismatch.

One of the following:
MODEL_BINDING_MISMATCH("model_binding_mismatch")
PREFIX_BINDING_MISMATCH("prefix_binding_mismatch")
ORGANIZATION_BINDING_MISMATCH("organization_binding_mismatch")
END_USER_BINDING_MISMATCH("end_user_binding_mismatch")
