+# Fix for Structured Outputs in `/v1/messages` Endpoint
+
+## Issue Description
+The `/v1/messages` endpoint for Claude Sonnet 4.5 deployed in Azure Foundry and Amazon Bedrock was not properly handling the `output_format` parameter for structured outputs. When users sent requests with `output_format`, the response was Markdown text instead of JSON, even though direct calls to the provider APIs worked correctly.
+
+## Root Cause
+The `output_format` parameter was not recognized as a valid parameter in the `/v1/messages` endpoint implementation. Specifically:
+
+1. **Missing from TypedDict**: `output_format` was not included in the `AnthropicMessagesRequestOptionalParams` TypedDict, causing it to be stripped from requests.
+
+2. **Missing from supported params**: The `get_supported_anthropic_messages_params()` method in `AnthropicMessagesConfig` did not include `"output_format"` in its list of supported parameters.
+
+3. **Missing beta header injection**: The `_update_headers_with_anthropic_beta()` method did not automatically add the `structured-outputs-2025-11-13` beta header when `output_format` was present.
+
+## Files Changed
+
+### 1. `/home/user/litellm/litellm/types/llms/anthropic.py`
+**Change**: Added `output_format` field to `AnthropicMessagesRequestOptionalParams` TypedDict
+
+```python
+class AnthropicMessagesRequestOptionalParams(TypedDict, total=False):
+    # ... existing fields ...
+    output_format: Optional[AnthropicOutputSchema]  # Structured outputs support
+```
+
+### 2. `/home/user/litellm/litellm/llms/anthropic/experimental_pass_through/messages/transformation.py`
+**Changes**:
+a) Added `"output_format"` to supported parameters list:
+```python
+def get_supported_anthropic_messages_params(self, model: str) -> list:
+    return [
+        # ... existing params ...
+        "output_format",
+        # ...
+    ]
+```
+
+b) Updated `_update_headers_with_anthropic_beta()` to inject structured-outputs beta header:
+```python
+# Check for structured outputs
+if optional_params.get("output_format") is not None:
+    beta_values.add(ANTHROPIC_BETA_HEADER_VALUES.STRUCTURED_OUTPUT_2025_09_25.value)
+```
+
+### 3. `/home/user/litellm/tests/test_litellm/llms/anthropic/experimental_pass_through/messages/test_anthropic_messages_structured_outputs.py`
+**Change**: Created comprehensive test suite to verify structured outputs support
+
+Tests include:
+- Verification that `output_format` is in supported parameters
+- Request transformation preserves `output_format`
+- Beta header is automatically added
+- Beta headers merge correctly with existing headers
+- Integration test for full request flow
+- Specific tests for Bedrock and Azure Foundry models
+
+## Impact
+
+This fix applies to **all** providers that use the `/v1/messages` endpoint, including:
+- **Anthropic** (direct API calls)
+- **Amazon Bedrock** (via `AmazonAnthropicClaudeMessagesConfig` which inherits from `AnthropicMessagesConfig`)
+- **Azure Foundry** (via `AzureAnthropicMessagesConfig` which inherits from `AnthropicMessagesConfig`)
+- **Vertex AI** (via `VertexAIPartnerModelsAnthropicMessagesConfig` which inherits from `AnthropicMessagesConfig`)
+
+All these implementations inherit from `AnthropicMessagesConfig`, so the fix automatically propagates to all of them.
+
+## Verification
+
+The fix ensures that:
+1. The `output_format` parameter is preserved throughout the request pipeline
+2. The `anthropic-beta: structured-outputs-2025-11-13` header is automatically injected
+3. The complete request (including `output_format` in the body and the beta header) is sent to the provider API
+4. Structured outputs work correctly for Claude Sonnet 4.5 and Opus 4.1 models on all supported providers
+
+## Example Usage
+
+After this fix, users can use structured outputs with the `/v1/messages` endpoint:
+
+```bash
+curl --request POST \
+  --url https://litellm.example.com/v1/messages \
+  --header 'accept: application/json' \
+  --header 'content-type: application/json' \
+  --header "X-API-KEY: <api-key>" \
+  -d '{
+    "model": "claude-sonnet-4-5",
+    "max_tokens": 1024,
+    "messages": [
+      {
+        "role": "user",
+        "content": "Extract the key information from this email: John Smith (john@example.com) is interested in our Enterprise plan."
+      }
+    ],
+    "output_format": {
+      "type": "json_schema",
+      "schema": {
+        "type": "object",
+        "properties": {
+          "name": {"type": "string"},
+          "email": {"type": "string"},
+          "plan_interest": {"type": "string"}
+        },
+        "required": ["name", "email", "plan_interest"],
+        "additionalProperties": false
+      }
+    }
+  }'
+```
+
+This will now correctly return JSON output instead of Markdown text.
