What probably matters to youSection of the release

What

  • The thinking_display parameter of the set_max_thinking_tokens tool now accepts a new mode, in addition to summarized and omitted, that shows one short title per stretch of thinking instead of a full prose summary. This mode only works for Claude Code sessions that Anthropic itself hosts; on any other client, the request still succeeds but silently falls back to omitted once the API rejects the value.
  • A tightened validation schema now requires max_thinking_tokens to be an integer or null, and thinking_display to be one of a fixed set of values or null, with a matching error message when the input doesn't fit.

Why

The new display mode gives a more scannable view of Claude's thinking on supported sessions, while the stricter validation makes sure invalid values for these settings produce a clear error instead of being silently accepted.

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.

Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up highlights, on Manage multiple agents with agent view. | v2.1.225 | `claude agents` in a directory you haven't trusted shows the same [workspace trust dialog](/docs/en/permissions#project-allow-rules-and-workspace-trust) that `claude` shows on startup, before agent view opens.
