137137### structured\_output is None but the result says success
138138 
139A result message can end with `subtype: "success"` while `structured_output` is `None` in Python or `undefined` in TypeScript. The run completes, but no validated output exists. One way to hit this is a schema no output can satisfy, for example conflicting length constraints.

141Treat this result as a failure in application code. Check both that `subtype` is `success` and that `structured_output` is present before using it. The [Error handling](/docs/en/agent-sdk/structured-outputs#error-handling) section shows this pattern for both SDKs.

143If it happens repeatedly with a schema you believe is correct, verify the schema is satisfiable, then simplify it until outputs validate, and reintroduce constraints one at a time.
143* **A request that Claude declined**: to detect this case in your code, check the result message's `stop_reason` for `"refusal"`. For what to try next, see [Usage Policy refusal](/docs/en/errors#usage-policy-refusal).
144* **A schema no output can satisfy**: for example, a string whose `minLength` is greater than its `maxLength`. If `structured_output` is missing repeatedly with a schema you believe is correct, look for constraints that contradict each other. If you find none, simplify the schema until outputs validate, then reintroduce your constraints one at a time.
