--- title: Remote url: https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/http/compliance/apps/sessions/remote --- # Remote ## List remote sessions **GET** `/v1/compliance/apps/sessions/remote` List remote sessions (Cowork sessions that run in Anthropic-managed cloud environments) across the organizations the key may read. Each entry carries session metadata only; retrieve a session's transcript from the messages endpoint. By default the list spans every such organization; pass up to 500 `organization_ids[]` values to narrow it. Pass 1 to 10 `user_ids[]` values to scope the list to specific users: that filter matches the session's owning user, so agent-owned sessions are excluded whenever it is set. Bound results in time with the `created_at` range parameters (`created_at.gte`, `created_at.gt`, `created_at.lt`, `created_at.lte`; RFC 3339). There is no `updated_at` filter. Results are sorted newest first by `created_at`, with at most `limit` sessions per page (default 100, maximum 500). Pagination is forward-only: pass the response's `next_page` value back as `page` to retrieve the next page, and stop when `next_page` is null. ### Query parameters - `created_at: optional object` - `gt: optional string` Filter remote sessions created after this time (RFC 3339 format) format: date-time - `gte: optional string` Filter remote sessions created at or after this time (RFC 3339 format) format: date-time - `lt: optional string` Filter remote sessions created before this time (RFC 3339 format) format: date-time - `lte: optional string` Filter remote sessions created at or before this time (RFC 3339 format) format: date-time - `limit: optional number` Maximum results (default: 100, max: 500) default: 100, minimum: 1, maximum: 500 - `organization_ids: optional array of string` Filter to specific child organization identifiers. Omit to enumerate every child organization the key may read. maxItems: 500 - `page: optional string` Opaque pagination token from a previous response's `next_page` field. Pass this to retrieve the next page of results. Clients should treat this value as an opaque string and not attempt to parse or interpret its contents, as the format may change without notice. - `user_ids: optional array of string` Filter to sessions owned by specific users (max 10 per request). Agent-owned sessions are excluded when this filter is set. maxItems: 10 ### Headers - `"anthropic-version": optional string` The version of the Claude API you want to use. Read more about versioning and our version history [here](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/versioning?sdk_languages=http). - `"x-api-key": optional string` ### Returns - `data: array of object` - `id: string` Remote session identifier - `agent_id: string or null` Identifier of the automated agent that owns the session. Null for user-owned sessions. At most one of `user` and `agent_id` is set. - `claude_project_id: string or null` ID of the project the session is bound to. Null when the session has no project binding. - `created_at: string` When the session was created (RFC 3339, UTC) format: date-time - `organization_uuid: string` UUID of the organization the session belongs to - `product_surface: string or null` The Claude product the session was created from. Currently `cowork_remote`, for Cowork sessions started on claude.ai web or mobile. More values will appear as other surfaces launch, so treat any unrecognized value as an unclassified surface rather than an error. Null for sessions created before this field was recorded, for surfaces that do not stamp it, and for unrecognized tag values. - `started_by_user: object or null` The user who initiated an agent-owned session (for example, by mentioning Claude in Slack or via a scheduled trigger). Null for user-owned sessions — where the session's `user` started it — and for agent sessions with no human initiator. For initiators no longer a member of an organization the key may read, the object is populated with `email_address` null. - `id: string` User identifier - `email_address: string or null` User's email address. Null when the user is no longer a member of an organization the key may read — `id` remains set so attribution is preserved. The messages endpoint does not resolve email addresses; this field is always null there. - `status: string` Session lifecycle state. One of `active`, `paused`, `archived`, or `failed` — the lifecycle states the owning product surface exposes — plus `pending`, a brief transient state that resolves before any transcript content exists. The list endpoint includes `pending`; the messages endpoint returns 404 for it. Deleted sessions are not returned on either endpoint. Treat unrecognized values as an unknown state rather than an error. - `updated_at: string` When the session was last modified (RFC 3339, UTC) format: date-time - `user: object or null` The user who owns the session. Null for sessions owned by an automated agent rather than a user. At most one of `user` and `agent_id` is set. For users no longer a member of an organization the key may read, the object is populated with `email_address` null. - `id: string` User identifier - `email_address: string or null` User's email address. Null when the user is no longer a member of an organization the key may read — `id` remains set so attribution is preserved. The messages endpoint does not resolve email addresses; this field is always null there. - `next_page: string or null` Opaque page token; pass as `page` to retrieve the next page. Null when no rows exist after this page. Treat this value as opaque; do not parse or store it long-term, as the format may change without notice. ### Example ```bash curl https://api.anthropic.com/v1/compliance/apps/sessions/remote \ -H 'anthropic-version: 2023-06-01' \ -H "Authorization: Bearer $ANTHROPIC_COMPLIANCE_API_KEY" ``` #### Response (200) ```json { "data": [ { "id": "cse_01A0000000000000000000000", "organization_uuid": "00000000-0000-0000-0000-000000000000", "user": { "id": "user_01A0000000000000000000000", "email_address": "user@example.com" }, "status": "active", "created_at": "2026-01-02T03:04:05.000000Z", "updated_at": "2026-01-02T03:04:05.000000Z", "product_surface": "cowork_remote", "claude_project_id": "claude_proj_01Nm7PqRsTuVwXyZaBcDeFgH" } ], "next_page": "page_AAE..." } ``` ## Domain types ### Remote List Response - `RemoteListResponse object` Metadata for one remote session, as returned in the list response and in the messages response's `session` field.

Thinking blocks and images are not included. Messages are returned oldest first by default; pass `order=desc` to reverse. Pagination uses the same `page`/`next_page` scheme as the list endpoint, with at most `limit` messages per page (default 100, maximum 1000); keep paginating until `next_page` is null. `tool_use_input_max_bytes` and `tool_result_max_bytes` cap how many bytes of each tool-use input and each tool-result text item are returned; a block shortened by either cap carries `truncated: true`. The response embeds the session's metadata under `session` alongside the paginated `data` array. On this endpoint `session.user.email_address` and `session.started_by_user` are always null; read them from the list endpoint instead. Returns 404 while the session is still `pending`, for deleted sessions, and for sessions outside the organizations the key may read. A malformed session identifier returns 400. #### Path parameters - `claude_remote_session_id: string` The remote session identifier (`cse_...`) to retrieve #### Query parameters - `limit: optional number` Maximum results (default: 100, max: 1000) default: 100, minimum: 1, maximum: 1000 - `order: optional "asc" or "desc"` Sort direction. `asc` (oldest-first) or `desc`. default: asc - `"asc"` - `"desc"` - `page: optional string` Opaque pagination token from a previous response's `next_page` field. Pass this to retrieve the next page of results. Clients should treat this value as an opaque string and not attempt to parse or interpret its contents, as the format may change without notice. - `tool_result_max_bytes: optional number` Truncate each text item inside a tool result to at most this many bytes (cut on a code-point boundary). Pass `-1` to request the server maximum. `0` is not a valid value. default: 10000, minimum: -1, maximum: 2147483647 - `tool_use_input_max_bytes: optional number` Truncate each tool-use input to at most this many bytes (cut on a code-point boundary so the result is valid UTF-8). Pass `-1` to request the server maximum. `0` is not a valid value. default: 10000, minimum: -1, maximum: 2147483647 #### Headers - `"anthropic-version": optional string` The version of the Claude API you want to use. Read more about versioning and our version history [here](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/versioning?sdk_languages=http). - `"x-api-key": optional string` #### Returns - `data: array of object` Transcript turns for this page, ordered by transcript position. `created_at` is a commit timestamp and may tie or invert under concurrent writes; do not re-sort by it. - `id: string` Unique identifier for the message, e.g. `csev_abc123` - `content: array of Text or ToolUse or ToolResult` Content blocks within the message - `Text object` Text content block. - `type: "text"` default: text - `text: string` Text content from the user or the assistant - `truncated: boolean` True when `text` exceeded the server-defined maximum (approximately 1 MiB) and was shortened. default: false - `ToolUse object` Tool invocation requested by the assistant. - `type: "tool_use"` default: tool_use - `id: string or null` Tool-use ID, e.g. 'toolu_01AbC...' - `input: string` Arguments passed to the tool, as a JSON-encoded string. May be shortened — see the `truncated` field - `name: string` Name of the tool invoked - `truncated: boolean` True when `input` was shortened. Pass `tool_use_input_max_bytes=-1` to request full content, subject to the server-side maximum. default: false - `ToolResult object` Result returned by a tool invocation. - `type: "tool_result"` default: tool_result - `content: array of object` Text content returned by the tool. Non-text item types are omitted. - `type: "text"` default: text - `text: string` Text returned by the tool - `is_error: boolean` True when the tool reported an error - `name: string` Name of the tool that produced this result - `tool_use_id: string or null` ID of the tool_use block this result responds to - `truncated: boolean` True when one or more text items in `content` were shortened. Pass `tool_result_max_bytes=-1` to request full content, subject to the server-side maximum. default: false - `content_unavailable: boolean` True when the stored content could not be returned — it could not be decrypted, or it exceeded the server's per-event size bound. `content` is empty in that case; this distinguishes 'no content' from 'content withheld'. default: false - `created_at: string` When the message was recorded (RFC 3339, UTC) format: date-time - `role: "assistant" or "user"` Message sender (`user` or `assistant`) - `"assistant"` - `"user"` - `sent_by_user_id: string or null` Identifier of the human account that sent this turn on an agent-owned session.
