Isn't that misleading from Anthropic side? The gist shows that only certain tools are block, not all. They're selectively enforcing their ToS.

Are those other phrases actually used by any tools? I thought they were just putting phrases into the LLM arbitrarily. Any misuse of the endpoint is detected at scale they probably add more triggers for that abuse.
Expecting it to magically block different phrases is kind of silly.

Do you have anything to support that? Not a gist of someone putting arbitrary text into the API, but links to another large scale tool that gets away with using the private API?
Seems pretty obvious that they’re just adding triggers for known abusers as they come up.
The gist showsmthat the first line ofmthe system prompt must be "You are Claude Code, Anthropic's official CLI for Claude."
That’s a reasonable attempt to enforce the ToS. For OpenCode, they also take the next step of additionally blocking a second line of “You are OpenCode.”
There might be more thorough ways to effect a block (e.g. requiring signed system prompts), but Anthropic is clearly making its preferences known here.
