Anthropic has updated its code execution, web search, and web fetch tools on the Claude platform. The code execution tool now explicitly states a 90-second time limit to better manage cell execution, while the web tools have added a response inclusion parameter to streamline agentic workflows. These updates aim to improve the predictability and efficiency of Claude's interactions with external tools for developers.

  • Code Execution Tool Limits Time Per Cell

    The code execution tool now supports version `code_execution_20260521`, which includes a 90-second time limit per cell. This limit is disclosed in the tool description, allowing Claude to better budget for long-running cells without requiring a beta header.

  • Web Tools Streamline Agentic Workflows

    The web search and web fetch tools have been updated to version `web_search_20260318` and `web_fetch_20260318` respectively. These versions introduce a `response_inclusion` parameter that allows dropping consumed result blocks from API responses, benefiting agentic workflows.
