What's Wrong?
Prompt-type hooks ("type": "prompt") fail on Vertex AI. Claude Code sends an output_config parameter that the Vertex AI API does not support.
Environment: Claude Code v2.1.81, Vertex AI
What Should Happen?
The prompt-based hook should run successfully on Vertex AI API.
Error Messages/Logs
[DEBUG] Hooks: Processing prompt hook with prompt: Summarize what this command did: {"session_id":"...","tool_name":"Bash","tool_input":{"command":"ls ..."},...}
[DEBUG] Hooks: Querying model with 1 messages
[ERROR] API error (attempt 1/11): 400 {"type":"error","error":{"type":"invalid_request_error","message":"output_config: Extra inputs are not permitted"}}
[DEBUG] Hooks: Model response: API Error: 400 ...
[DEBUG] Hooks: error parsing response as JSON: API Error: 400 ...
Steps to Reproduce
- Configure Claude Code to use Vertex AI (
CLAUDE_CODE_USE_VERTEX=1) - Add a prompt-type hook to .claude/settings.json:
{
"hooks": {
"PostToolUse": [
{
"matcher": "Bash",
"hooks": [
{
"type": "prompt",
"prompt": "Summarize what this command did: $ARGUMENTS",
"statusMessage": "Analyzing..."
}
]
}
]
}
}
- Run Claude Code with
--debug - Ask Claude to run any command (e.g.,
ls) - Observe the hook error in the debug log
