What's Wrong?

Web search always fails with the following error, regardless of setup (direct Anthropic API or corporate proxy):

API Error: 400 tools.0: Input tag 'web_search_20250305' found using 'type' does not match any of the expected tags: 'bash_20250124', 'custom', 'memory_20250818', 'text_editor_20250124', 'text_editor_20250429', 'text_editor_20250728', 'tool_search_tool_bm25', 'tool_search_tool_bm25_20251119', 'tool_search_tool_regex', 'tool_search_tool_regex_20251119' errorCode: UPSTREAM_LLM_ERROR

Environment:

Claude Code version: 2.1.149 OS: macOS Using both VSCode extension and CLI — same error on both Tested with direct Anthropic API and SAP Hyperspace LLM Proxy

What Should Happen?

Expected behavior: Web search returns results

Actual behavior: Every web search call fails with UPSTREAM_LLM_ERROR — the web_search_20250305 tool type is not in the list of accepted tags
