6666 <Accordion title="Does the Activity Feed include prompt or message content?">
6767 No. The Activity Feed records who did what and when (authentication, chat creation, file uploads, project changes, administrative actions, and similar resource events), but it does not capture the prompt text or model responses inside chats or messages.

69 To retrieve message bodies and file contents, use the chat, message, and file endpoints with a Compliance Access Key carrying `read:compliance_user_data`. The same key and scope retrieve transcripts of Cowork and Claude Code sessions on users' machines through the [local session endpoints](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-local-sessions), and transcripts of Cowork sessions in the cloud through the [remote session endpoints](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-remote-sessions). These endpoints serve Claude Enterprise content only; Claude Console workloads, and Claude API workloads authenticated with an API key, expose administrative and resource events through the Activity Feed but do not expose prompt text or model responses through the Compliance API.

from line 77
7777 The local and remote session endpoints are stable for Cowork and Claude Code sessions; coverage of Claude Science and Claude for Microsoft 365 sessions is in beta.

80 <Accordion title="What do session transcripts include?">
8181 Local and remote session transcripts both carry user prompts, assistant responses, and tool calls and results. For local sessions (on users' machines), that is what Claude was asked to do and what it returned, not what happened on the device.

109109 <Accordion title="What does the Compliance API not capture?">
110110 The Compliance API has known coverage boundaries: the Activity Feed records resource events but not prompt or response text, Claude Console and Claude API workloads authenticated with an API key expose no message content at all, and content removed by your retention policy, deleted by a user in claude.ai, or hard-deleted through the Compliance API is not recoverable. For the full coverage boundaries and delivery contract, see [Delivery guarantees and completeness](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-integration-patterns#delivery-guarantees-and-completeness).

112 Cowork and Claude Code session transcripts have boundaries of their own. Local sessions are captured only as their requests reach the Claude API, so on-device activity that never reaches the API is not captured. Claude Code sessions authenticated with a Claude Console API key, Claude Code sessions run through a third-party cloud platform (Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud, or Microsoft Foundry), and Claude Code on the web are not captured either; organizations with HIPAA readiness enabled get no local session data; and sessions for which zero data retention is in effect are excluded. No session transcript, local or remote, includes thinking blocks or tool definitions. Organizations that use [customer-managed encryption keys](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/cmek) receive local session transcripts as usual. While the key cannot be used, the messages endpoint returns [503 Service Unavailable](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-errors#local-sessions-temporarily-unavailable) instead of transcript content, and session metadata is still listed.
