Claude Code now blocks tool calls that fake internal __artifact-prefixed argument keys, except for tools allowed to set them

What

  • Tool calls whose arguments include a key beginning with __artifact are now denied unless the tool is recognized as one that legitimately mints such keys, with the message "Nothing was done. The arguments carry a key that only Claude Code sets."
  • This relies on a new mintsArtifactKeys() capability check, which is also used to suppress certain artifact-related event logging for contexts that mint their own artifact keys.

Why

This prevents a model or malicious input from spoofing internal artifact bookkeeping keys that only Claude Code itself is meant to set.
