Set output_schema to return a validated Pydantic object instead of free-form text.

Code

structured_output.py
run.content is a MovieScript instance after Claude returns valid JSON and Agno validates it against the schema.
Agno 2.7.2 translates output_schema to Anthropic’s legacy-compatible output_format request and adds the structured-outputs-2025-11-13 beta automatically. Anthropic’s current direct API uses output_config.format; the legacy request remains available during Anthropic’s migration period. Let Agno populate the request field when you use output_schema.
Anthropic lists Claude Sonnet 4.6 as supporting structured outputs. Refusals and responses stopped at max_tokens can end without a schema-valid result. Anthropic JSON outputs are also incompatible with citations and message prefilling; Agno disables document citations for these requests.
