Intercept and control agent behavior with hooks

 
 ### Forward notifications to Slack
 
-Use `Notification` hooks to receive system notifications from the agent and forward them to external services. Notifications fire for event types such as:
+Use `Notification` hooks to receive system notifications from the agent and forward them to external services. In SDK sessions, Claude Code runs this hook for the following notification types:
 
-* `permission_prompt` when Claude needs permission
-* `idle_prompt` when Claude is waiting for input
-* `auth_success` when authentication completes
-* `elicitation_dialog`, `elicitation_complete`, and `elicitation_response` for user-prompt elicitation flows
+* [`permission_prompt`](/docs/en/hooks#notification) once a permission request has waited about six seconds on your [`canUseTool` callback](/docs/en/agent-sdk/user-input). Requires TypeScript Agent SDK v0.3.233 or later, or Python Agent SDK v0.2.139 or later
+* `elicitation_complete` and `elicitation_response` for user-prompt elicitation flows
 
-In headless SDK sessions, only the elicitation events `elicitation_complete` and `elicitation_response` fire this hook; the other types are emitted by interactive UI that SDK sessions don't run. Permission requests, for example, go to the `canUseTool` callback instead.
+Claude Code emits the other types, such as `idle_prompt`, `auth_success`, and `elicitation_dialog`, from interactive UI that SDK sessions don't run.
 
 Each notification includes a `message` field with a human-readable description and optionally a `title`.
