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.

Artifact rooms and post-publish verify are detected from the tool schema

Artifacts Notable not in their notes

The artifact tool can advertise broadcasting to current viewers and reading their browser diagnostics.

A room capability and room_send broadcast, plus the verify diagnostics action, are declared in the tool schema rather than turned on.

room_send
What

The artifact tool can declare a room capability, an at-most-once broadcast channel to whoever is currently viewing the page, sent with room_send carrying a topic and data, alongside the verify action that reads runtime diagnostics viewers' browsers captured for the current version.

Details
  • Both are feature-detected from the tool schema itself: rooms by whether topic is in the argument shape, verify by whether the action list contains it. Rooms additionally require the room module to be compiled in and to report enabled.
  • On builds where the schema does not carry them, they simply do not exist. These are not settings you can flip.
  • Permission checks fail closed: a room_send, or a publish that declares a room, whose check throws is denied.
  • The verify prompt insists that a result with no viewers is not evidence of a clean render.
