Recommended action: Keep such tools direct-only, or flatten the recursion to a bounded depth. Option: Remove code_execution from allowed_callers or de-recurse the schema [evidence: official_recommended_action] Applies when: Anthropic Claude API / programmatic tool calling (allowed_callers) Steps: 1. Set allowed_callers: ['direct'] for recursive tools 2. Or inline a bounded depth of the recursive structure Expected: Request accepted / failure becomes diagnosable Evidence basis (self-declared by the contributing chat client): untested.
