Claude docs changes for August 1st, 2026 [diff]

Executive Summary

  • The Agent SDK's permission mode table now includes a "Use case" column for each mode, and gained a new note that "bypassPermissions" requires allowDangerouslySkipPermissions: true in the TypeScript SDK.
  • The Agent SDK quickstart no longer duplicates the permission modes table; it now links to the canonical table in "How the agent loop works" instead.
  • The Claude Code on Claude Platform on AWS page dropped its enterprise sales promo banner.

Changed documents

agent-sdk/agent-loop [Source]

  • The permission mode table gained a "Use case" column describing when to reach for each mode (e.g. "acceptEdits" for trusted prototyping, "dontAsk" for locked-down headless agents). [lines 193-199] [Source]
  • "default" mode's description now explicitly names the canUseTool callback. "bypassPermissions" now notes that the TypeScript SDK also requires allowDangerouslySkipPermissions: true in options. [lines 194, 199]

agent-sdk/quickstart [Source]

  • Removed the standalone permission modes table and replaced it with a short explanation plus a link to the canonical table in How the agent loop works, avoiding duplicated/divergent documentation. [line 326] [Source]

claude-platform-on-aws [Source]

  • Removed the enterprise sales promo banner ("Deploying Claude Code across your organization?" with "View plans" / "Contact sales" links) from the top of the page. [lines 1-5] [Source]
