ChangeAPI changelog

Multiple API changes: computer use tool and browser use tool now GA (no beta header required); Files API GA removes files-api-2025-04-14 beta header requirement; storage and rate limit details removed; Admin API user-management endpoints GA removes ce-user-management-2026-07-13 header requirement; new toolset versions and model support announced.

* The Admin API user-management endpoints for Claude Enterprise (claude.ai) organizations (members, invites, groups, and custom roles) are now generally available. The anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13 header is no longer required on group and custom-role requests; requests that still send it are accepted unchanged. See User management. * The Files API is now generally available on the Claude API. Requests to the /v1/files endpoints, and Messages API requests that reference an uploaded file, no longer require the files-api-2025-04-14 beta header. Requests sent without the header use the GA response format: file expiration (set expires_in_seconds when you upload a file; file objects report expires_at), and page and next_page pagination plus an ids[] filter when you list files. Storage is 1 TB per organization and the rate limit is 500 requests per minute. /v1/files requests that still send the beta header keep working and return the previous response format.
* The computer use tool is now generally available on the Claude API as the computer_toolset_20260801 toolset: no beta header, batch actions (several actions in one turn), zoom enabled by default, and per-member configuration through configs. Earlier beta versions remain available. Upgrading an existing integration changes the request shape and tool handling; see Migrate from computer_20251124. * We've launched the browser use tool (browser_toolset_20260801), a client toolset for driving a browser that your application hosts. It works inside a browser viewport rather than a whole desktop, reading the page itself (its accessibility tree, elements, forms, and tabs) and adding element references, form input, tab management, download reporting, and opt-in file upload on top of screenshot-and-click control. * Both toolsets are available for Claude Fable 5, Claude Mythos 5, Claude Opus 5, Claude Sonnet 5, and Claude Opus 4.8 on the Claude API. * The Files API is now generally available on the Claude API. Requests to the /v1/files endpoints, and Messages API requests that reference an uploaded file, no longer require the files-api-2025-04-14 beta header. Requests sent without the header use the GA response format: file expiration (set expires_in_seconds when you upload a file; file objects report expires_at), and page and next_page pagination plus an ids[] filter when you list files. /v1/files requests that still send the beta header keep working and return the previous response format. * Agent Skills and the Skills API (/v1/skills) are now generally available on the Claude API. Requests no longer require the skills-2025-10-02 beta header, including Messages API requests that load Skills through the container parameter. Requests that still send the header continue to work unchanged. See Using Agent Skills with the API. * The Admin API user-management endpoints for Claude Enterprise (claude.ai) organizations (members, invites, groups, and custom roles) are now generally available. The anthropic-beta: ce-user-management-2026-07-13 header is no longer required on group and custom-role requests; requests that still send it are accepted unchanged. See User management.

  * You can now restrict which sites a Claude Managed Agents agent's web_search and web_fetch tools can reach. Set allowed_domains or blocked_domains on the tool's entry in the agent_toolset_20260401 configs array; web_fetch also accepts max_content_tokens and web_search accepts user_location. Each configs entry is identified by its name and typed by an optional type, and requests that pass only name, enabled, and permission_policy continue to work; in the typed SDKs, configs entries become per-tool types. See Restrict web search and web fetch domains.
  * Claude Managed Agents sessions that run in a self-hosted sandbox can now attach memory stores. The Python, TypeScript, and Go SDK workers download each attached store into the sandbox at its mount_path and sync the agent's changes back to the store. See Use memory stores.
  * The session viewer in the Claude Console has been redesigned with a timeline minimap, a transcript grouped by model request, and an Inspector panel for session details and cost, raw events, per-tool statistics, mounted resources, and per-thread activity. See Console observability.
