Workflows

discover-model-and-message
Pick an available model, validate it, and generate a message with it.
Lists the available Claude models, confirms the requested model id resolves via the Get Model endpoint, and then calls Create Message to generate a response from that model.
3 steps inputs: apiKey, maxTokens, modelId, prompt outputs: content, messageId, resolvedModelId, usage
1
listModels
listModels

2
validateModel
getModel
Resolve the requested model id to confirm it exists and is available before attempting to generate a message with it.
3
createMessage
createMessage
Send a single user message to the validated model and capture the generated content and token usage.

  title: Anthropic Discover a Model and Send a Message
  summary: List available models, confirm a chosen model exists, then create a message with it.
  description: >-
    A model-discovery to generation flow against the Anthropic Models API. The
    workflow first lists the models available to the account, then resolves the
    requested model alias to confirm it is usable, and finally sends a single
    text message to that model and captures the generated content. Every step
    spells out its request inline — including the inline x-api-key and
    anthropic-version headers the spec defines — so the flow can be read and
    executed without opening the underlying OpenAPI description.
