842 **Claude Fable 5.1 in long agent loops**
843 
844 Claude Fable 5.1 may issue fewer parallel tool calls than earlier models, most noticeably in long agent loops where the next reads are only implied (custom coding agents, bash and text editor harnesses, computer use). Standard function calling is unaffected. For the batching instruction to add and where to put it, see [Batch independent tool calls in agent loops](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/build-with-claude/prompt-engineering/prompting-claude-fable-5-1#batch-independent-tool-calls-in-agent-loops).

841847## Disable parallel tool use
842848 
843849Parallel tool use is on by default. To turn it off, set `disable_parallel_tool_use: true` inside the [`tool_choice`](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/define-tools#forcing-tool-use) object. It is not a top-level request parameter. The effect depends on the `tool_choice` type.

1128When `tool_choice` type is `any` or `tool`, setting `disable_parallel_tool_use: true` means Claude calls exactly one tool. The following example uses `any`. The same field works with `tool`:
1134When `tool_choice` type is `any` or `tool`, setting `disable_parallel_tool_use: true` means Claude calls exactly one tool. Claude Fable 5.1 and Claude Mythos 5.1 don't support these `tool_choice` types (see [Forcing tool use](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/agents-and-tools/tool-use/define-tools#forcing-tool-use)). The following example uses `any`. The same field works with `tool`:
