Claude Code Docs Flag Gateway Risks

Anthropic’s Claude Code documentation explains that third-party gateways can inspect prompts containing source code, shift billing from subscriptions to per-token credentials, and lose compatibility with new capabilities. Anthropic does not endorse routing Claude Code to non-Claude models through gateways. [Documentation](https://code.claude.com/docs/en/llm-gateway)

// ANALYSIS

Gateways offer useful enterprise controls, but they turn trust, billing, and feature compatibility into infrastructure concerns developers must actively manage.

–Gateway operators may access prompts, source code, credentials, and audit logs.
–Gateway credentials replace a claude.ai subscription for those requests, so subscription limits no longer apply and usage is billed to the forwarded account.
–Setting only `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` does not change subscription billing.
–Provider switching works only when the gateway preserves Claude Code’s expected API format and capabilities.
–Teams should vet retention, logging, access controls, billing ownership, and feature pass-through before deploying a gateway.

Tracekit 1.2 Adds Agent Forensics, Policy Gates

Tracekit 1.2 places a signer between AI agents and their tools, recording every call in a tamper-evident, offline-verifiable log while blocking or holding risky actions. Its provenance tracking and `tracekit why` command connect an action back to the untrusted input that triggered it.
