Anthropic's Claude Code adds per-command safety checks, impacting API users

By PulseAugur Editorial · [1 sources] ·

Anthropic's Claude Code has updated its safety features, now incorporating a model call for each command executed in its default auto mode. This change, implemented in version 2.1.283, means that a background classifier using Claude Sonnet 5 analyzes commands before execution. For users on enterprise plans or those utilizing the Claude API, Claude Platform on AWS, Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Agent Platform, or Microsoft Foundry, these classifier calls will now count towards token usage, potentially increasing costs. Additionally, entering auto mode silently removes broad allow rules for code execution, which are restored upon exiting the mode, and a lack of a verdict from the classifier results in a silent denial without notification.
