The artifact tool gains a version action that resolves and records an artifact's version, re-checking the approved target first.

The artifact tool gains a version action that runs a dedicated version-resolution flow with retry progress reporting and updates the artifact's read-version state afterward; it's rejected if the live-doc module isn't available in the build, and re-validates the approved action and URL still match before running, guarding against a changed target between approval and execution. getToolUseSummary and the auto-classifier describe version as versioning an artifact with nothing uploaded.

Alongside version, a new open action lets Claude show an existing artifact read-only, distinct from list/publish, and is treated as read-only by the classification logic. New get_handlers, call_handler, and run_script actions add server-callable handler support, gated by boolean flags in the tool constructor and an ACTION description clause added to the schema when handlers are enabled; get_handlers is classified read-only, while call_handler/run_script are treated as writes unless a handlers-action-write check says otherwise. These gates are logged in the schema-build telemetry line and folded into the action enum.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Model configuration touched a line naming version after this was published. Fable 5.1 requires Claude Code v2.1.257 or later. If a request for it from an older version fails, see [Claude Code does not support this model](/docs/en/errors#claude-code-does-not-support-this-model). Run `claude update` to upgrade. For … model-config see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up version, on MCP, plugins, skills, and hooks. | `.claude-plugin/plugin.json` | **Required.** Plugin manifest (name, description, version). Directories without this file are ignored. | third-party/claude-desktop/extensions see the edit
