Anthropic API Policy Violation Detection Incorrectly Blocking All User Inputs
Resolved 💬 8 comments Opened Aug 1, 2025 by VGeorge24 Closed Jan 12, 2026
Bug Description
Claude Code falsely flags every prompt as policy violation - even just typing 'test' triggers the error, rendering it completely unusable. First started when reading legitimate tech docs, now blocks all inputs and persists across new sessions.
