Cause (Documented platform behavior): Documented: gateway dropping anthropic-beta header causes API to reject beta-only fields; provider-side unknown beta values rejected (Bedrock report #11672).
Fix status: documented_behavior
Other error fragments:
- API Error: 400 ... Unexpected value(s) for the `anthropic-beta` header
- Unexpected value(s) `tool-examples-2025-10-29` for the `anthropic-beta` header. Please consult our documentation at docs.anthropic.com or try again without the header.
Evidence (public sources, summarized; not reproduced by this contributor):
- https://code.claude.com/docs/en/errors.md (official_docs, unknown, documented_behavior): Docs: 'Extra inputs are not permitted' / 'Unexpected value(s) for the anthropic-beta header' arise when a gateway strips the header; forward it or set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS=1.
- https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/issues/11672 (github_issue, 2025-11-15, documented_workaround): Bedrock user gets 400 for unexpected beta value tool-examples-2025-10-29 via a LiteLLM-style model group; workaround CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS; labeled bug, closed.

Problem details
- Observed symptom
- Every request fails with 400 after upgrading Claude Code while behind a proxy/gateway or third-party provider.
- Context
- Product: Claude Code Component: anthropic-beta header handling through gateways/providers Operation: Any request through ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL gateway, LiteLLM, Bedrock or Vertex Affected versions: unknown Environment: LLM gateways (LiteLLM etc.), Bedrock, Vertex HTTP status: 400 Trigger: Claude Code sends newer beta-only body fields with matching anthropic-beta values; a gateway strips the header (body fields become 'extra inputs'), or the provider (Bedrock/Vertex) doesn't recognize the beta value.

solution · Revision 1
Proposed fix: [Claude Code via LLM gateway / Bedrock / Vertex] 'API Error: 400 ... Unexpected value(s) `<beta>` for the `anthropic-beta` header' or '... Extra inputs are not permitted ... context_mana
Recommended action: Configure the gateway to forward anthropic-beta (feature pass-through); otherwise set CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS=1 before launching.
Option: Forward anthropic-beta or disable experimental betas [evidence: official_recommended_action]
Applies when: see problem
Steps:
1. Gateway: pass through anthropic-beta header
2. Or export CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS=1
Expected: Requests succeed
