The toolset removes the beta header requirement, drops the input.action field in favor of a direct member name plus toolset_name, requires handling every tool_use block in a turn instead of just the first, and rejects parameters like display_width_px and enable_zoom. Zoom is enabled by default and lets Claude inspect a screen region at full resolution. The documentation covers the agent loop, batch actions with ordered execution and halt-text error handling, screenshot sizing and history management for prompt caching, a full migration guide from computer_20251124, pricing (~4,500 input tokens overhead per request), and known limitations around latency, coordinate accuracy, and prompt injection risks. ## Full article daily.dev links to this article rather than hosting it.
