🎯 Changes

Provider tools now type-check on claude-opus-5 and claude-fable-5-1.

Before this change, this failed to compile:

const adapter = anthropicText('claude-opus-5')
const tools = [webSearchTool({ name: 'web_search', type: 'web_search_20250305' })]
// Type '"web_search"' is not assignable to type 'never'.

The same code compiles on claude-opus-4-1.

Two things were wrong for both models:

  1. supports.tools was [], so ResolveToolCapabilities resolved to readonly []. Every provider tool failed to type-check.
  2. Both models were missing from ANTHROPIC_COMBINED_TOOLS_AND_SCHEMA_MODELS. supportsCombinedToolsAndSchema() returned false, so structured output with tools used the forced-tool-use path for pre-4.5 models instead of output_config.format.

A third defect follows from the second, and CodeRabbit found it after the first push:

  1. claude-opus-5 did not declare AnthropicOutputConfigOptions. Once the model is in the combined set, the adapter writes output_config.format and merges it over any caller-supplied output_config. A caller on this model could not set output_config.effort next to it. Opus 4.7, Opus 4.8, Sonnet 5, Fable 5 and Fable 5.1 all declare it.

claude-opus-5-fast keeps an empty tool list. The Anthropic docs do not list it under code execution, computer use, or structured outputs.

Root cause

Issue: Provider tools and output_config.format were unavailable on two current models.

Cause: The model sync writes tools: [] for every new Anthropic model. CONTRIBUTING.md states that the curated list is a manual edit after the sync PR opens. That edit happened for Sonnet 5 and Fable 5 in #882 and #884. It did not happen for Opus 5 (added in #1048) or Fable 5.1 (added in #1288).

The existing guard in tools-per-model-type-safety.test.ts checks that each model has a map entry. It does not check that the entry is non-empty. No test covered the three newest models, so the gap stayed open.

Fix: Fill the curated tool list for both models. Add both to the combined tools-and-schema set. Declare AnthropicOutputConfigOptions on claude-opus-5, in both places that describe the model. Extend the guard to fail on an empty list.

The third defect sits in the same unfinished manual edit. claude-opus-5 carries the shape the sync writes by default, and nobody curated it.

One detail is easy to get wrong here, so it is worth naming. AnthropicOutputConfigOptions does not track the combined set. Opus 4.5, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.5, Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5 are all in the set and none of them declares that type. The type tracks the output_config.effort option, which arrived with Claude 4.7. The combined tools-and-schema capability goes back to 4.5. Two capabilities share one request field. claude-opus-5 needs the declaration because of its generation, and the test in model-meta.test.ts now carries that distinction as a comment.

The declaration belongs in two places: the satisfies clause on the CLAUDE_OPUS_5 constant and the exported AnthropicChatModelProviderOptionsByName entry. Callers read the second one.

Possible alternatives

  • Make the sync script infer the tool list from the OpenRouter catalog. CONTRIBUTING.md forbids this: "Do not copy another model's tool list."
  • Fill claude-opus-5-fast as well. The docs do not support it, so the guard pins it as the one known exception instead.
  • Declare AnthropicOutputConfigOptions on claude-opus-5-fast too. It is a 5-generation model and does not declare it either, so the same gap is probably there. This PR does not change that model's structured-output path, so there is no repro for it here. Worth a separate look.

Testing

Repro written for this PR. Run on a clean main worktree (bffdd186), then on this branch.

Clean main — fails

$ tsc --noEmit -p packages/ai-anthropic/tsconfig.json
packages/ai-anthropic/tests/gate1-repro.ts(12,15): error TS2322: Type 'AnthropicWebSearchTool' is not assignable to type 'ProviderTool<string, never> | ...'.
exit: 1

$ tsx gate1-runtime.ts
claude-opus-5 uses output_config.format: false
exit: 1

This branch — passes

$ tsc --noEmit -p packages/ai-anthropic/tsconfig.json
exit: 0

$ tsx gate1-runtime.ts
claude-opus-5 uses output_config.format: true
exit: 0

Package suite after the fix:

$ vitest run          Test Files  12 passed (12)   Tests  156 passed (156)
$ tsc --noEmit        clean
$ oxlint src          3 pre-existing warnings, none in changed files
$ oxfmt --check       all matched files use the correct format

Reverting only model-meta.ts makes the two new type-safety tests fail with 14 errors. Removing only the two set entries makes one model-meta test fail. Both new tests fail without the fix.

Second repro: output_config on claude-opus-5

Same method for the third defect. Agent-written repro, run on this branch before the type fix, then after it.

Before the fix — fails

$ tsc --noEmit -p packages/ai-anthropic/tsconfig.json
tests/gate1b-repro.ts(18,5): error TS2353: Object literal may only specify known properties,
  and 'output_config' does not exist in type 'AnthropicContainerOptions & ... & AnthropicSamplingOptions'.
tests/gate1b-repro.ts(24,24): error TS2353: Object literal may only specify known properties,
  and 'output_config' does not exist in type 'AnthropicContainerOptions & ... & AnthropicSamplingOptions'.

Line 18 is a chat() call with modelOptions.output_config. Line 24 is the same shape read off AnthropicChatModelProviderOptionsByName['claude-opus-5'].

After the fix — passes

$ tsc --noEmit -p packages/ai-anthropic/tsconfig.json
clean

The repro file is not in the diff. chat-per-model-type-safety.test.ts carries it as two tests instead.

E2E coverage

The triage bot was right: this PR changes behaviour and had no E2E test. Added now.

testing/e2e/src/routes/api.anthropic-opus-5-combined-wire.ts drives the adapter on claude-opus-5 with an outputSchema and webSearchTool(). A custom fetch records every outgoing request and answers with a synthetic Claude SSE stream, so the route needs no API key and no aimock fixture. Same approach as api.anthropic-skills-wire.ts.

On clean main — 2 of 3 fail

$ playwright test tests/anthropic-opus-5-combined-wire.spec.ts
✘  the schema travels in a single streaming request
✘  the request body carries output_config.format as a json_schema
✘  the web_search tool rides along and no structured_output tool appears

   Expected length: 1
   Received length: 2
   [0] model=claude-opus-5 stream=true  tools=[web_search]        output_config=absent
   [1] model=claude-opus-5 stream=false tools=[structured_output] tool_choice={type:tool,name:structured_output}

3 failed

The second request is the forced-tool-use round-trip this PR removes. The compile-time half of the fix fails on main in the same file:

$ tsc --noEmit            # testing/e2e
src/routes/api.anthropic-opus-5-combined-wire.ts(143,15): error TS2322:
  Type 'AnthropicWebSearchTool' is not assignable to type '... | ProviderTool<string, never>'.

On this branch — all pass

$ playwright test tests/anthropic-opus-5-combined-wire.spec.ts
✓  the schema travels in a single streaming request (22ms)
✓  the request body carries output_config.format as a json_schema (23ms)
✓  the web_search tool rides along and no structured_output tool appears (21ms)

3 passed (2.9s)

$ tsc --noEmit            # testing/e2e, this route: clean

  • This change is docs/CI/dev-only (no release).

Summary by CodeRabbit

  • Bug Fixes

    • Restored provider tool support for Claude Opus 5 and Claude Fable 5.1, including web, code execution, computer use, terminal, text editing, and memory tools.
    • Structured outputs now use the supported combined tools-and-schema format for these models instead of forced tool use.
    • Claude Opus 5 now supports configuring output effort alongside structured output schemas.
  • Documentation

    • Updated Anthropic adapter documentation with supported models and output configuration details.
  • Tests

    • Added coverage for tool compatibility and structured-output behavior across supported Anthropic models.

The model sync inserts every new Anthropic model with `supports.tools: []`
and leaves the curated list to a follow-up edit. That edit never happened
for `claude-opus-5` or `claude-fable-5-1`, so `ResolveToolCapabilities`
resolved to `readonly []` and every provider tool failed to type-check on
both models while still compiling on `claude-opus-4-1`.

Both were also missing from `ANTHROPIC_COMBINED_TOOLS_AND_SCHEMA_MODELS`,
which sent structured output alongside tools down the forced-tool-use path
kept for pre-4.5 models instead of `output_config.format`.

`claude-opus-5-fast` keeps an empty list; it is absent from the supported
model lists for code execution, computer use and structured outputs. The
type-safety suite now pins it as the only such model, and the model-meta
suite checks the combined tools-and-schema set the same way.

🟠 Major · Add AnthropicOutputConfigOptions to CLAUDE_OPUS_5. · model-meta.ts:531-539

packages/ai-anthropic/src/model-meta.ts:531-539
🎯 Functional Correctness | 🟠 Major | ⚡ Quick win

Add AnthropicOutputConfigOptions to CLAUDE_OPUS_5.

CLAUDE_OPUS_5 is now in ANTHROPIC_COMBINED_TOOLS_AND_SCHEMA_MODELS, but its ModelMeta provider-options type still excludes AnthropicOutputConfigOptions. A caller using claude-opus-5 cannot type-check output_config.format, even though the runtime metadata now selects that capability. Add AnthropicOutputConfigOptions to this intersection, as the other combined-output models do.

`claude-opus-5` is in `ANTHROPIC_COMBINED_TOOLS_AND_SCHEMA_MODELS`, so the
adapter writes `output_config.format` into the request and merges it over
any caller-supplied `output_config`. The model's provider-options type left
out `AnthropicOutputConfigOptions`, so a caller could not tune
`output_config.effort` alongside the schema.

Declare it in both places that describe the model: the `satisfies` clause on
the `CLAUDE_OPUS_5` constant and the exported
`AnthropicChatModelProviderOptionsByName` entry. Every other Claude 4.7+
model already declares it.

CONTRIBUTING requires E2E coverage for a behaviour change. This adds the
missing half for TanStack#1423.

`/api/anthropic-opus-5-combined-wire` drives the Anthropic adapter on
`claude-opus-5` with an `outputSchema` and `webSearchTool()`. A custom
`fetch` records every outgoing request and answers with a synthetic Claude
SSE stream, so no API key and no aimock fixture are needed.

The spec asserts the three observable effects of the fix: one upstream
request instead of two, `output_config.format` as a `json_schema` on that
request, and the `web_search` server tool travelling with it. Passing
`webSearchTool()` to a `claude-opus-5` adapter also stops compiling if the
model's `supports.tools` list regresses to `[]`.

The previous wording said "every other Claude 4.7+ model". That is not
accurate: `claude-opus-5-fast` is a registered 5-generation model and does
not declare `AnthropicOutputConfigOptions`. It stays out of scope here
because this PR does not change its structured-output path.

Pushed three commits. Two things are now closed: the CodeRabbit finding and the missing E2E coverage.

The output_config finding — taken, and it was in two places.

claude-opus-5 now declares AnthropicOutputConfigOptions in the satisfies clause on the constant and in the exported AnthropicChatModelProviderOptionsByName entry. The report named only the first. Callers read the second.

The stated reason does not hold, though. "As the other combined-output models do" is not the pattern in this file: Opus 4.5, Opus 4.6, Sonnet 4.5, Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5 are all in ANTHROPIC_COMBINED_TOOLS_AND_SCHEMA_MODELS, and none of them declares that type. The type tracks output_config.effort, which arrived with Claude 4.7. The combined tools-and-schema capability goes back to 4.5. Two different things sharing one request field.

So claude-opus-5 needs the declaration because of its generation, not because it is in the set. Same fix, different reason — and the difference mattered. I first wrote a structural guard on the invariant CodeRabbit implied ("every model in the set types output_config"). It failed against main on five models. I dropped it. There is no derivable invariant here, so I did not invent one.

E2E coverage — added.

The triage bot was right, and CONTRIBUTING is explicit. testing/e2e/tests/anthropic-opus-5-combined-wire.spec.ts with its route under src/routes/.

The route drives the adapter on claude-opus-5 with an outputSchema and webSearchTool(). A custom fetch records every outgoing request and answers with a synthetic Claude SSE stream, so it needs no API key and no aimock fixture — same approach as api.anthropic-skills-wire.ts. The spec asserts one upstream request instead of two, output_config.format as a json_schema on that request, and web_search travelling with it.

On clean main two of the three fail, and tsc --noEmit in testing/e2e fails on the same file because webSearchTool() does not type-check against an empty tool list. Both transcripts are in the PR body under Testing.

pnpm run test:pr runs end to end now, exit 0. The earlier blocker was my network, not the repo.

One gap I left open on purpose. claude-opus-5-fast does not declare AnthropicOutputConfigOptions either, and it is a 5-generation model, so the same hole is probably there. This PR does not change that model's structured-output path, so I have no repro for it and did not widen the diff. It is under Possible alternatives, and I am happy to open a separate PR if you want it closed.

The pre-merge docstring check reported 50% on the functions this diff
touches. Both helpers now say what they do.

Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 5 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Three cleanups from a second read of the diff, no behaviour change.

`MODELS_WITHOUT_OUTPUT_CONFIG` is renamed to
`MODELS_WITHOUT_COMBINED_OUTPUT`. The old name read as a claim about the
`output_config` provider option, which is a different axis: Opus 4.5, Opus
4.6, Sonnet 4.5, Sonnet 4.6 and Haiku 4.5 are in the set and do not accept
that option. A comment now records the distinction.

The wire spec's `runRoute` helper takes `APIRequestContext` instead of a
hand-written structural type, matching `provider-tool-dispatch-wire.spec.ts`.

The third wire assertion had no teeth: it passed on clean `main`, because the
tool list is gated at compile time. It now checks every captured request for
the forced `structured_output` tool, so all three tests fail without the fix.

`docs/adapters/anthropic.md` gains one bullet. The per-model rules list where
`output_config` is accepted, and `claude-opus-5` now belongs on that list.
