DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

ReportFindings Tool

A new built-in tool called ReportFindings enables structured code review output. When a code-review workflow completes, it can report findings as a typed list — file, line, a one-sentence summary, a concrete failure scenario, verdict (CONFIRMED/PLAUSIBLE), and optional outcome (fixed/skipped/no_change_needed) — so the host UI can render them as a rich list rather than freeform text.

Details
  • Accepts up to 32 findings per call, ranked most-severe first.
  • Each finding includes file, optional line (1-indexed), summary, and failure_scenario.
  • verdict is present when a verify pass ran; absent on inline-only reviews.
  • outcome is set only when re-reporting after applying fixes.
  • Tool result echoes the count so the model sees confirmation without re-printing all findings.
