> I don't like the selective enforcement of ToS, but I can see why Anthropic does this to preserve good win with developers testing things out locally.

> There's also technical reasons like Agent SDK being a wrapper around Claude Code cli, so it's hard to enforce the distinction. Even if Anthropic enforces the ToS, it's just going to drive people to reserve engineer Agent SDK and wrap Claude Code cli manually.
