Source Intelligence

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.

Device File Read Blocking

What

The Read tool now blocks attempts to read device files that would block or produce infinite output.

Details

Blocked device files include:

  • /dev/zero, /dev/random, /dev/urandom, /dev/full
  • /dev/stdin, /dev/tty, /dev/console
  • /dev/stdout, /dev/stderr, /dev/fd/0, /dev/fd/1, /dev/fd/2

Error message: "Cannot read '[path]': this device file would block or produce infinite output."

Evidence

Device file blocklist (search for "device file would block")

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
