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.

Remote Tools Notable not in their notes

CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_TOOLS_POLICY picks between parity (the default) and interim remote-tool behaviour.

CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_TOOLS_POLICY
What

A new environment variable picks between two remote-tool policies. Unset, or set to parity, gives parity mode; any other value gives interim mode. So the default is parity.

Details
  • Read through a small helper, so the value is resolved per process from the environment.
Usage
export CLAUDE_CODE_REMOTE_TOOLS_POLICY=interim
