A Claude Code environment variable, read out of the shipped bundle.
It has been in the build since v2.1.233, including the newest one read.
Set to 1 to stop Claude Code from running your Notification hooks for unanswered permission requests in sessions where Claude Code sends them to the Agent SDK's canUseTool callback, which is how Claude Desktop and the VS Code extension host Claude Code. Has no effect in terminal sessions. Requires Claude Code v2.1.233 or later
Your notification hook now fires when a permission prompt sits unanswered for six seconds; one env var disables it.

The earliest release whose published evidence quoted CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_PERMISSION_PROMPT_NOTIFY_HOOKS was v2.1.233, 14 Aug 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table below.

One row per release since the first build this name was read out of. Absent means the build was read and the name was not in it, never mined means no bundle for that release was ever archived, and a declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the environment variable does. All environment variables.
