1111An Inference hooks integration is an AI security server: an HTTPS service that Anthropic calls. For each governed request, your server receives a signed `POST` carrying the conversation transcript and responds with an allow or deny verdict. This page documents the protocol for building that server: the request and verdict schemas, signature verification, and the operational contract.

690Sustained webhook failures attributable to your AI security server trip a circuit breaker that stops enforcement: Anthropic stops contacting your server, and failure handling applies to every request. Recovery happens on the admin side: fix the server, then have your administrator turn **Enforce verdicts** back on. See [Circuit breaker](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/inference-hooks-configuration#circuit-breaker).

692Starting 10 minutes after the trip, Anthropic tests whether your server has recovered: at most about once per minute, one request, carried by your organization's own traffic, is delivered to your server for inspection, signed and shaped like any other. Respond to it normally. A valid verdict, allow or deny, resets the breaker and enforcement resumes. A webhook failure leaves the breaker tripped, and testing continues. Either way, the test request itself proceeds for its user: its verdict is not enforced, and a failed test does not block it, even under **Block the request**. An administrator can also reset the breaker at any time, and administrator configuration changes stop the automatic testing; see [Circuit breaker](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/inference-hooks-configuration#circuit-breaker).

692694Each trip is recorded as an `inference_hooks_circuit_breaker_tripped` activity in the [Activity Feed](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-activity-feed), one activity per trip. While the breaker is tripped, no per-request Inference hooks activities are recorded, so the trip activity is the feed's only record of the tripped window.
