Anthropic bans OAuth token usage in third-party tools — Claude Max/Pro users affected

Anthropic updated their Claude Code Docs legal compliance page to explicitly ban the use of OAuth tokens from consumer plans (Free, Pro, Max) in any third-party tool or service.

This means tools like Cline, Roo Code, OpenClaw, and anything using the Agent SDK with consumer OAuth tokens are now in violation of Anthropic's Terms of Service.

Developers are told to use API key authentication only.
