2573In addition to the [common input fields](#common-input-fields), Stop hooks receive `stop_hook_active`, `last_assistant_message`, `background_tasks`, and `session_crons`. The `stop_hook_active` field is `true` when Claude Code is already continuing as a result of a stop hook. Check this value or process the transcript to avoid blocking on a condition that will never resolve. Claude Code applies an 8-consecutive-continuation cap: after stop hooks have continued the turn eight times in a row, Claude Code overrides the next block and ends the turn. To raise the cap, set [`CLAUDE_CODE_STOP_HOOK_BLOCK_CAP`](/docs/en/env-vars).

2575Claude Code applies an 8-consecutive-continuation cap: after stop hooks have continued the turn eight times in a row, Claude Code overrides the next block and ends the turn. The count of consecutive continuations resets each time Claude calls a tool. To raise the cap, set [`CLAUDE_CODE_STOP_HOOK_BLOCK_CAP`](/docs/en/env-vars).

25752577The `last_assistant_message` field contains the text content of Claude's final response, so hooks can access it without parsing the transcript file. For hooks that act on the just-completed turn, such as read-aloud or notification hooks, use this field rather than reading `transcript_path`: the transcript file isn't guaranteed to include the final message at Stop time on all versions.
