Anthropic bans OAuth tokens (including Agent SDK) in 3P tools
code.claude.comI don't get it, now I can't use Tidewave or Zed or Agent Shell in Emacs with my Claude Code plan? Why would they do this? It makes my subscription so much less worthwhile.
Very frustrating action from them, especially when use of subscriptions with Agents SDK was explicitly stated to be permitted a month ago.
Using OAuth tokens from Claude Code/Claude.ai in third party tools such as OpenClaw or OpenCode now officially warrants a ToS violation.
OpenAI allows it
If it becomes a cost factor for them, they will follow suit. In the end, model providers will want users to use the API.
Perhaps someday. Meanwhile I will use the economical offering (without sacrificing quality)
OpenAPI openly encourage users to use their subscription with their SDK and 3rd party tools like opencode, openclaw. Until they change it, they're still better than Anthropic subscription.
It is extreme cope from the Anthropic audience to claim its products and policies have shortcomings only because they are the best and that OpenAI would be as bad as they are if they were the ones in the lead
Can any of these other tools somehow become "sub-agents"?
