request_params | Optional[Dict[str, Any]] | None | Additional parameters to include in the request |
betas | Optional[List[str]] | None | Anthropic beta flags enabling experimental or newly released features. Betas required for skills and structured outputs are added automatically |

skills | Optional[List[Dict[str, str]]] | None | Claude Agent Skills to enable, e.g. [{"type": "anthropic", "skill_id": "pptx", "version": "latest"}]. Adds the required beta flags automatically |
citations | bool | True | Attach citations to document blocks. Suppressed automatically when structured output is active because Anthropic rejects citations together with output_format |
append_trailing_user_message | Optional[bool] | None | Append a trailing user turn when the conversation ends with an assistant message. Defaults to True for models without prefill support (Claude 4.6+) |
trailing_user_message_content | str | "continue" | Content of the appended trailing user message |
api_key | Optional[str] | None | The API key for authenticating with Anthropic |
auth_token | Optional[str] | None | Auth token for the Anthropic client. Falls back to the ANTHROPIC_AUTH_TOKEN environment variable |

async_client | Optional[AsyncAnthropicClient] | None | A pre-configured instance of the async Anthropic client |
model_type | ModelType | ModelType.MODEL | Functional role of this model (MODEL, OUTPUT_MODEL, or PARSER_MODEL). Set by the agent during initialization |
supports_native_structured_outputs | bool | False | Set to True automatically for Claude models that support native structured outputs |
supports_json_schema_outputs | bool | False | True if the model requires a JSON schema for structured outputs |
system_prompt | Optional[str] | None | System prompt from the model added to the Agent |
instructions | Optional[List[str]] | None | Instructions from the model added to the Agent |
tool_message_role | str | "tool" | Role used for tool messages |

cache_ttl | Optional[int] | None | Time-to-live for cached model responses, in seconds. If None, cache never expires |
cache_dir | Optional[str] | None | Directory for cached model responses. If None, uses the default cache location |
retries | int | 0 | Number of retries to attempt before raising a ModelProviderError |
delay_between_retries | int | 1 | Delay between retries, in seconds |
exponential_backoff | bool | False | If True, the delay between retries is doubled each time |
