Claude Enterprise Inference Hooks (Beta)

A security check that inspects every prompt and tool response before Claude acts on it, for companies on Claude Enterprise.

Claude Enterprise Inference Hooks (Beta) announcement image
  • Every prompt and every tool response routes through a connection to your own security server, which returns an allow or deny verdict before Claude generates anything
  • Covers Claude chat, Claude Code, and Claude Cowork, including tool calls made through connectors, skills, and plugins
  • Admins point it at a data-loss-prevention tool they already run (Netskope, Palo Alto Networks, Proofpoint, Zscaler, or one built in-house) and set their own timeouts and failure tolerance
  • Rollout controls include a shadow mode that logs but always allows, role-based exclusions, and percentage-based rollouts
  • Closes the gap left by Claude Code's client-side hooks, which only checked activity on the user's own machine
  • In beta now for Claude Enterprise customers, configured from the organization settings

Best for

Enforcing the data rules your company already has across everything a team does in Claude, not just what people paste into chat.

When to use it

Your security team blocked a wider Claude rollout because they had no way to inspect what employees send it.
