class BetaBrowserStateChangeTabOpened { type: :tab_opened, tab_id }

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 BetaFallbackBlock { type: :fallback, from, to, trigger }

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 { type: :fallback, from, to, trigger }

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.

type: :fallback
from: BetaFallbackInfoParam { model }

Identifies one hop of a fallback transition.

Identifies one hop of a fallback transition.

trigger: untyped

The response block's trigger, echoed verbatim. Accepted and ignored by the server; any object or null is allowed.

class BetaFallbackCreditNotApplied { type: :not_applied, reason, remove_to_redeem }

type: :redeemed
class BetaFallbackCreditTokenParam { token, mode }

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.

token: String

The opaque fallback_credit_token from a prior refusal's stop_details — the same string the bare-string form carries.

minLength1
maxLength2048
mode: :strict | :best_effort

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:
:strict
:best_effort
class BetaFallbackCreditUsage { status }

Outcome of the fallback_credit_token presented on this request.

Whether the fallback-credit reprice was applied to this response's billing.

A union discriminated on type. redeemed: the retry is billed as if the conversation had been on the retry model all along — including when the resulting shift is zero because there was nothing to move. not_applied: no reprice was applied; the arm's reason says why.

One of the following:
class BetaFallbackCreditRedeemed { type: :redeemed }

type: :redeemed
class BetaFallbackCreditNotApplied { type: :not_applied, reason, remove_to_redeem }

class BetaFallbackInfoParam { model }

Identifies one hop of a fallback transition.

class BetaFallbackMessageIterationUsage { type: :fallback_message, cache_creation, cache_creation_input_tokens, 4 more }

Token usage for the fallback-model attempt of a server-side fallback request.

The terminal entry of a fallback-served turn: when a fallback hop's output is the returned message, the entry for the iteration that completed it carries this type in place of message. A declined hop and the serving hop's earlier tool-loop iterations produce message entries. Whether a fallback model served the response is signalled by the presence of this entry in usage.iterations.

class BetaFallbackParam { model, max_tokens, output_config, 2 more }

One entry in the fallbacks chain on a /v1/messages request.

model is required. The override fields (max_tokens, thinking, output_config, and speed) set the corresponding parameter for this attempt only and are validated as if the request were made to model. Any other key is rejected at parse time.

class BetaFallbackRefusalTrigger { type: :refusal, category }

The from model declined for policy reasons.

type: :refusal
category: :cyber | :bio | :frontier_llm | 2 more

The policy category that triggered the from model's refusal at this hop. null when the refusal doesn't map to a named category. Same vocabulary as stop_details.category.

One of the following:
:cyber

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

:bio

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

: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

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.

:general_harms

The request could be related to an area that was determined as harmful. Benign work might sometimes trigger this category.

type BetaFallbacksParam = Array[BetaFallbackParam] | :default

Opt-in server-side retry on one or more substitute models when the requested model declines for policy reasons. Tried in order: if the first entry also declines, the second is tried, and so on. Some models don't support fallbacks; on those models, a list of fallback models returns a 400 error. See Server-side fallback. The string "default" requests the requested model's server-defined default fallback configuration. On a model that doesn't support fallbacks, the request runs on the requested model alone, so a declined request stays declined.

One of the following:
class BetaFileDocumentSource { type: :file, file_id }
type: :file
file_id: String
class BetaFileImageSource { type: :file, file_id }
type: :file
file_id: String
class BetaImageBlockParam { type: :image, source, cache_control, transformations }
class BetaImageTransformationsParam { 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: :downsize | :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.

value: Integer
minimum1

One entry of input_transformations: either a change the API made to the request's input before showing it to the model, or a block that failed a binding check and was still shown to the model unchanged. The type field says which.

One of the following:

Per-iteration token usage breakdown.

Each entry represents one sampling iteration, with its own input/output token counts and cache statistics, discriminated by type. For message entries (model sampling iterations, such as the turns of a server-side tool use loop), this allows you to:

  • Calculate the context window size from the last message entry
  • Understand token accumulation across server-side tool use loops

A compaction entry reports the token usage of the compaction operation itself — the server-side request that summarizes the context being closed — NOT the size of the context that was compacted away, and its token counts can be much smaller than that closed context (for example, a compaction that closes a ~200k-token context can report only a few thousand tokens). Do not derive the context window size from a compaction entry, even when it is the last entry. A compaction entry's tokens are not included in the top-level usage fields. When an input-token trigger is in effect (the default — 150,000 tokens unless configured otherwise), each compaction entry closes a context that had reached at least that threshold, though the context can exceed it by the final iteration's output and tool results.

class BetaOutputConfig { effort, format_, task_budget }
class BetaOutputTokensDetails { thinking_tokens }
thinking_tokens: Integer

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

Reflects the raw reasoning the model produced, not the (possibly shorter) summarized thinking text returned in the response body. Computed by re-tokenizing the raw reasoning text, so it may differ from the model's exact generation count by a small number of tokens. Always ≤ output_tokens; output_tokens - thinking_tokens approximates the non-reasoning output.

This is an opaque field and should not be interpreted or parsed. When passing thinking blocks back to the API (required when using tools with extended thinking), pass them back exactly as received, with this field intact.

See extended thinking for details.

thinking: String

The text of Claude's thinking process for this block.

class BetaThinkingBlockBinding { prefix_mismatch_behavior }

Controls for block binding: what happens when a thinking block this request sends back fails the conversation check. Every field is optional; an empty object means every default.

prefix_mismatch_behavior: BetaThinkingPrefixMismatchBehavior

"error" (default) | "drop_block". What happens when a thinking block in messages fails the conversation check (it was created in a different conversation, or the messages before it have changed since). "error" fails the request with a 400 error. "drop_block" removes the failing blocks and the request proceeds; each removal is reported in input_transformations.

One of the following:

class BetaThinkingBlockParam { type: :thinking, signature, thinking }
type: :thinking
signature: String

The signature value of this thinking block, exactly as returned by the API in a previous response. Used to verify that the block was generated by Claude.

Thinking blocks must be passed back unmodified and in their original order; a modified block results in a 400 invalid_request_error.

thinking: String

class BetaThinkingConfigAdaptive { type: :adaptive, block_binding, display_ }
type: :adaptive
block_binding: BetaThinkingBlockBinding { prefix_mismatch_behavior }

Controls for block binding: what happens when a thinking block this request sends back fails the conversation check. null, absent or an empty object means every default.

prefix_mismatch_behavior: BetaThinkingPrefixMismatchBehavior

"error" (default) | "drop_block". What happens when a thinking block in messages fails the conversation check (it was created in a different conversation, or the messages before it have changed since). "error" fails the request with a 400 error. "drop_block" removes the failing blocks and the request proceeds; each removal is reported in input_transformations.

One of the following:

One of the following:
:summarized
:omitted
:updates

Configuration for Claude's thinking.

With {"type": "adaptive"}, Claude decides when and how much to think. With {"type": "enabled"} (manual extended thinking), you set a budget_tokens of at least 1,024. Thinking tokens count toward your max_tokens limit.

Which type values are accepted, and what happens when you omit thinking, depend on the model. See thinking for each model's behavior.

One of the following:
class BetaThinkingDelta { type: :thinking_delta, estimated_tokens, thinking }
type: :thinking_delta
estimated_tokens: Integer

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.

thinking: String

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.

class BetaThinkingDroppedInputTransformation { type: :thinking_dropped, path, reason }
type: :thinking_dropped

Always thinking_dropped for this entry type.

path: String

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: :model_binding_mismatch | :prefix_binding_mismatch | :organization_binding_mismatch | :end_user_binding_mismatch

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
:prefix_binding_mismatch
:organization_binding_mismatch
:end_user_binding_mismatch
class BetaThinkingMismatchAllowedInputTransformation { type: :thinking_mismatch_allowed, path, reason }
type: :thinking_mismatch_allowed

Always thinking_mismatch_allowed for this entry type.

path: String

Where the block is 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: :model_binding_mismatch | :prefix_binding_mismatch | :organization_binding_mismatch | :end_user_binding_mismatch

Which binding check the block failed; the block was shown to the model all the same. Always prefix_binding_mismatch today — the conversation before the block differs from the conversation it was created in, or the block carries no record of one on a model that requires it. Were the check enforced for this request, the block would have been removed or the request rejected (thinking.block_binding.prefix_mismatch_behavior). A removal also takes the rest of that turn's consecutive thinking blocks, whereas here each block is checked on its own, so thinking_mismatch_allowed entries are a lower bound on what enforcement would remove.

One of the following:
:model_binding_mismatch
:prefix_binding_mismatch
:organization_binding_mismatch
:end_user_binding_mismatch
type BetaThinkingPrefixMismatchBehavior = :error | :drop_block

What happens when a thinking block in messages fails the conversation check: it was created in a different conversation, or the messages before it have changed since.
