Human read

Why this signal matters

Anthropic Python SDK v1.5.0 includes several feature additions and bug fixes across API bindings, credentials handling, and streaming. Highlights include: 1) Managed Agents updates: auto mode tool permissions and support for mounting public GitHub repositories without authorization tokens. 2) Tool handling: messages.create, parse, stream, and count tokens now accept tool objects directly. 3) Beta & API updates: added user-profiles-2026-09-04 beta value, external user details to user profiles, a content-too-large web fetch tool error code, and Message.to param() / BetaMessage.to param(). 4) Credentials & Security: introduces CredentialsError and IdentityTokenFileError, and now rejects credential files accessible by group or others. 5) Bug fixes: resolves extra body merging before client hooks run, prevents partial tool input JSON from staying on content blocks during streaming, and leaves parsed output out of dumped text blocks.

What builders should check

  • Ensure file permissions on credentials files restrict access from group and others to prevent rejection by the SDK.
  • Optionally simplify tool definitions by passing tool objects directly to messages.create, parse, stream, and count tokens.
  • Review Managed Agents sessions to leverage auto mode tool permissions or token-free public GitHub repository mounts if applicable.
