7This page covers the `ant` CLI's input and output mechanics that apply across every endpoint. To install and authenticate, see the [Quickstart](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/cli-sdks-libraries/cli/quickstart). To chain commands and version-control resources, see [CLI scripting and automation](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/cli-sdks-libraries/cli/scripting).

19Resources in beta (including agents, sessions, deployments, and environments) live under the `beta:` prefix. Commands in this namespace automatically send the appropriate `anthropic-beta` header for that resource, so you don't need to pass it yourself. Use `--beta <header>` only to override the default (for example, to opt into a different schema version).

3636| `--transform` | Filter or reshape the response with a GJSON path. See [Transform output with GJSON](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/cli-sdks-libraries/cli/using#transform-output-with-gjson). |
3737| `-r`, `--raw-output` | Print string results without surrounding quotes, like `jq -r` |
3838| `--base-url` | Override the API base URL |
39| `--workspace-id` | Optional. Workspace ID (`wrkspc_...`) to send as the `anthropic-workspace-id` header, for API keys that aren't scoped to a workspace (equivalent to setting `ANTHROPIC_WORKSPACE_ID`). See [Select a workspace](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/authentication#select-a-workspace). [Admin API](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/admin-api) commands take their own `--workspace-id`, which names the workspace they manage instead. |

95 `--raw-output` is distinct from `--format raw`. `--raw-output` strips JSON quotes from string results, like `jq -r`. `--format raw` prints the response body's raw JSON bytes without auto-paginating; on list endpoints it applies `--transform` to the pagination envelope rather than to each item.
