Platform Availability

Which features work on which provider platform. This table is the single source of truth in this skill — per-feature sections elsewhere point here instead of restating availability. When writing code for a third-party platform (Bedrock, Vertex, Foundry) or Claude Platform on AWS, check this table first; a feature not supported there means use the first-party Claude API surface or a different approach.

Columns: 1P = first-party Claude API, P-AWS = Claude Platform on AWS (Anthropic-operated, same-day parity), Bedrock = Amazon Bedrock, Vertex = Google Cloud Vertex AI, Foundry = Microsoft Foundry. ✅ = GA, β = beta, ❌ = not supported.
