 ## Listing and downloading session files
 
-Use the [Files API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/files) to list files scoped to a session and download them. Filtering by `scope_id` requires the `managed-agents-2026-04-01` beta header, so the list examples use the `beta` files namespace and pass that header explicitly.
+Use the [Files API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/files) to list files scoped to a session and download them. Files the agent writes to `/mnt/session/outputs/` appear in the list shortly after the agent finishes writing them, sometimes a few seconds after the session goes idle. If an output file you expect is missing, list again after a short delay; once it appears in the list, its upload has finished.

 * If you omit `mount_path`, the file is placed at `/mnt/session/uploads/<file_id>`
 * Parent directories are created automatically
 * Paths should be absolute (starting with `/`)
+* Files the agent writes to `/mnt/session/outputs/` become available through the Files API, scoped to the session; see [Listing and downloading session files](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/managed-agents/files#listing-and-downloading-session-files)
