Anthropic extends Compliance API coverage to Claude Cowork and Claude Code

Anthropic has extended its Compliance API to cover Claude Cowork (desktop, web, and mobile) and Claude Code (CLI and desktop). This addition allows security and compliance teams to audit these surfaces alongside standard Claude chats without deploying separate logging infrastructure.

How it works

The new endpoints provide a consolidated, server-hosted transcript for each session, combining prompts, responses, and tool activity into a single record. Each session record includes:

• Session content: Prompts, responses, tool calls (web and MCP), and skills/artifacts captured as transcript text.
• Session metadata: Verified user ID and email, organization ID, session and per-message IDs, and timestamps.

The changes are additive, meaning existing data pulls from the Compliance API remain unchanged. Organizations already exporting OpenTelemetry data can continue doing so, as the Compliance API works alongside it without requiring additional infrastructure.

Availability and limitations

Coverage is available today for Claude Enterprise customers in beta. It uses the existing Compliance Access Key, so no separate integration is required. However, the beta does not include:

• Claude Code on the web
• Claude Code accessed through the Claude Platform
• Sessions run on Amazon Bedrock, Google Cloud's Vertex AI, or Microsoft Foundry
