A cloaked direct-Anthropic count_tokens request skipped applyCloaking entirely
while still reporting cloaked=true, so two guarantees that hold on the Messages
path were silently dropped on this endpoint:
- configured sensitive words reached Anthropic verbatim, even though the same
words are obfuscated on the Messages request
- a third-party caller's system prompt was forwarded in the system slot, which
measured Claude Code 2.1.220 count_tokens traffic never carries
Skipping the full Messages cloaking is still correct here, because native
count_tokens sends only model, messages and tools and must not gain the Claude
Code system blocks. Apply the two parts that do have to hold instead: relocate
the caller's system prompt into messages with the same positional mapping the
Messages path uses, so its tokens stay counted without leaking it as a system
prompt, and obfuscate sensitive words. Strict mode keeps dropping caller
prompts, matching the Messages path.
