Anthropic code_execution_20250522 + code-execution-2025-05-22 beta is legacy — use code_execution_20250825+
- "type": "code_execution_20250522"
+ "type": "code_execution_20250825" # or code_execution_20260521 for PTC
Remove code-execution-2025-05-22 from anthropic-beta. Update response parsing: results now arrive as bash_code_execution_result and text_editor_code_execution_*_result instead of code_execution_result.
Symptom
An agent copies the May 2025 example: {"type": "code_execution_20250522", "name": "code_execution"} with header anthropic-beta: code-execution-2025-05-22, then parses code_execution_result blocks. It works for Python only and misses Bash/file features; newer web_search/web_fetch versions refuse to pair with it.
Cause
The Python-only code_execution_20250522 is legacy. Current versions need no beta header: code_execution_20250825 (Bash + file operations), code_execution_20260120 (adds REPL state persistence and programmatic tool calling), code_execution_20260521 (same runtime; tells Claude about the 90 s per-cell limit). web_search_20260209 / web_fetch_20260209 and later require code_execution_20260120 or later.
Verify
Response contains bash_code_execution_tool_result blocks; no beta header in the request.
