Claude Code Sends Agent Transcripts to the Model
A technical review reveals that Anthropic's developer tool, Claude Code, continuously sends entire background transcripts to the model, raising concerns regarding privacy and token costs.
What happened?
A technical analysis shows that the Anthropic tool Claude Code regularly sends complete conversation transcripts from background agents back to the language model. This occurs in the background during development sessions to keep agent context synchronised, meaning detailed execution history leaves the local environment.

Why it matters
This behaviour poses potential privacy and security risks as code, API keys, or sensitive internal logs in the sessions may be sent over the network without the user's explicit knowledge. Furthermore, the extensive data traffic may lead to unexpected token costs and latency in the development environment.
Who is affected?
Developers and companies using Claude Code for local software development are directly affected, particularly organisations with strict privacy requirements or internal policies against data sharing.
Impact on the EU
The transfer of potentially sensitive data to external servers may trigger compliance requirements under GDPR and future oversight under the EU AI Act. European organisations must audit what is included in the telemetry and data streams of their developer tools.
What else you should know
The review is based on telemetry and network analysis of Claude Code. Anthropic has not yet officially commented on whether the function can be disabled or if the transcripts are stored centrally for training purposes.
