Documents the shipped POST /fin/escalate endpoint (Preview): request/response schema, the escalated reason emitted via the API, and the escalate capability type. Mirrors the developer-docs spec. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Mirrors developer-docs review feedback: the `message` field is visible to the end-user, unlike the internal-only `context`. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
Aligns the context param description with the guide's security note. Co-Authored-By: Claude Opus 4.8 (1M context) <noreply@anthropic.com>
message is now a {author, body} object (author restricted to user) that
seeds the new conversation; the context parameter is removed. Escalation
always summarises the source into a new human-facing conversation and
leaves the source untouched. Document the new mutual-exclusivity
validations (conversation_id vs user; message not allowed with
conversation_id).

Why?
The
POST /fin/escalateendpoint has shipped on the Preview API version but was missing from this spec. Adding it keeps the spec in sync with developer-docs and generates the endpoint in the SDKs.How?
Adds the
/fin/escalatepath (request/response schema, examples) to the Preview spec, documents theEscalation requested via APIreason on the escalated event, and listsescalateas a capability type.Escalation always summarises the source agent conversation into a new human-facing conversation and leaves the source untouched; an escalation Operator Workflow can customise routing. Request contract:
Provide either
conversation_idoruser— not both.messageis a{author, body}object (author restricted touser) that seeds the new conversation on theuserpath; it cannot be combined withconversation_id.The former
contextparameter is removed.Mirrors:
