Error Messages/Logs
API Error: Opus 5.5 (1M context)'s safeguards flagged this session (https://www.anthropic.com/legal/aup). You may be seeing this for the first time on an Opus model: Opus 5.5 (1M context) is more capable and has stronger safeguards as a result, which can sometimes flag non-cybersecurity work. We're improving these safeguards to reduce the amount of incorrectly flagged messages. Claude Code can't respond to your last message with Opus 5.5 (1M context).
