7272 <Accordion title="Do Cowork, Claude Code, Claude Science, and Claude for Microsoft 365 sessions appear in the Compliance API?">
73 Yes. Cowork sessions in Claude Desktop that run on users' machines, Claude Code sessions (in the terminal, in Claude Desktop, or in an IDE extension), sessions in the Claude Science desktop app, and Claude for Microsoft 365 sessions in Excel, PowerPoint, Word, and Outlook are captured while users are signed in with their Claude Enterprise account and are available through the [local session endpoints](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-local-sessions). Cowork sessions started on claude.ai web or mobile, which run in the cloud in Anthropic-managed environments, are available through the [remote session endpoints](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/compliance-sessions#retrieve-remote-sessions). Each family has a list endpoint that returns session metadata and a messages endpoint that returns the session transcript (user prompts, assistant responses, and tool calls and results). The local family adds a third endpoint that retrieves one session's metadata. All of these endpoints use your existing Compliance Access Key with `read:compliance_user_data`; no new key or scope is needed.

75 Local sessions are captured as their requests reach the Claude API, so nothing is installed on the device, and 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. Claude Code on the web also runs in the cloud in Anthropic-managed environments, but it is not a remote session; the remote session endpoints return Cowork sessions only. Organizations with [HIPAA readiness](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/api-and-data-retention#hipaa-readiness) enabled get no local session data, and sessions for which [zero data retention (ZDR)](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/manage-claude/api-and-data-retention#zero-data-retention-zdr-scope) is in effect are excluded.

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 cloud sessions](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web), which run on cloud infrastructure instead of the user's machine, are not captured. These cloud sessions are not remote sessions, even though both run in the cloud; the remote session endpoints return Cowork sessions only.

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 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.
