list

Successful response (OK)

Name	Datatype	Description
id	string	Unique identifier for this event.
name	string	Name of the custom tool being called.
custom_tool_use_id	string	The id of the `agent.custom_tool_use` event this result corresponds to, which can be found in the last `session.status_idle` [event's](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/sessions/events/list#beta_managed_agents_session_requires_action.event_ids) `stop_reason.event_ids` field.
from_session_thread_id	string	Public `sthr_` ID of the thread that sent the message.
mcp_tool_use_id	string	The id of the `agent.mcp_tool_use` event this result corresponds to.
model_request_start_id	string	The id of the corresponding `span.model_request_start` event.
outcome_evaluation_start_id	string	The id of the corresponding `span.outcome_evaluation_start` event.
outcome_id	string	The `outc_` ID of the outcome being evaluated.
session_thread_id	string	If absent, interrupts every non-archived thread in a multiagent session (or the primary alone in a single-agent session). If present, interrupts only the named thread.
to_session_thread_id	string	Public `sthr_` ID of the thread the message was sent to.
tool_use_id	string	The id of the `agent.tool_use` or `agent.mcp_tool_use` event this result corresponds to, which can be found in the last `session.status_idle` [event's](https://platform.claude.com/docs/en/api/beta/sessions/events/list#beta_managed_agents_session_requires_action.event_ids) `stop_reason.event_ids` field.
agent_name	string	Name of the callable agent the thread runs.
from_agent_name	string	Name of the callable agent this message came from. Absent when received from the primary agent.
mcp_server_name	string	Name of the MCP server providing the tool.
to_agent_name	string	Name of the callable agent this message was sent to. Absent when sent to the primary agent.
▶agent	object	The session's effective agent configuration after the update. Present only when the update changed `agent` (tools or mcp_servers); when present it is the full materialised snapshot, not a diff.
▶content	array	Array of content blocks comprising the user message.
deny_message	string	Optional message providing context for a 'deny' decision. Only allowed when result is 'deny'.
description	string	What the agent should produce. Copied from the input event.
▶error	object	An unknown or unexpected error occurred during session execution. A fallback variant; clients that don't recognize a new error code can match on `retry_status` and `message` alone.
evaluated_permission	string	The evaluated permission policy for this tool invocation. (allow, ask, deny)
explanation	string	Human-readable explanation of the verdict. For `needs_revision`, describes which criteria failed and why.
input	object	Input parameters for the tool call.
is_error	boolean	Whether the tool execution resulted in an error.
iteration	integer (int32)	0-indexed revision cycle. 0 is the first evaluation; 1 is the re-evaluation after the first revision; etc.
max_iterations	integer (int32)	Evaluate-then-revise cycles before giving up. Default 3, max 20.
metadata	object	The session's full metadata bag after the update. Present when the update set non-empty metadata; absent when metadata was unchanged or cleared to empty.
▶model_usage	object	Token usage for this model request.
processed_at	string (date-time)	Timestamp when the agent finished processing this message.
result	string	The confirmation result: 'allow' or 'deny'. (allow, deny)
▶rubric	object	How to grade the outcome. File rubrics are currently resolved to their text content; clients should handle both variants.
▶stop_reason	object	The agent completed its turn naturally and is ready for the next user message.
title	string	The session's new title. Present only when the update changed it.
type	string	(user.message)
▶usage	object	Aggregate token usage for this evaluation cycle. Sums across all grader model requests within the cycle.
