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.

Details
- 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.
