Can I track the cost of automated Claude Code runs?

Yes, by using the --output-format json or stream-json flags, you can programmatically extract the total_cost_usd field from the agent's final metadata.

Can I resume a headless session later?

Absolutely. You can capture the session_id from the JSON output of a command and use the --resume flag in a subsequent call to maintain context.

How do I handle permissions in headless mode?

You can use flags like --allowedTools to auto-approve specific actions or --permission-mode acceptEdits to allow the agent to modify files without manual confirmation.

Is there an SDK for programmatic access?

Yes, the Claude Agent SDK provides TypeScript and Python libraries to trigger the Claude Code agentic loop directly from your own application code.

What is Claude Code headless mode?

Headless mode is a non-interactive way to run Claude Code using the -p (print) flag, allowing it to function as a command-line pipeline tool rather than an interactive REPL.
