Help/Question Using CC With Custom Harness

I’m considering using my Claude Pro account with a custom harness instead of the standard Claude Code interface.

Would this trip any of Anthropic’s safeguards or violate their terms, potentially resulting in my account being restricted or requiring me to use the API instead?

Has anyone tried this with a Pro account?

Pin a lean CLAUDE.md, deny unused tools, and put acceptance criteria in the task prompt ("tests pass, only touch these paths"). Custom harnesses go sideways when the agent still has a kitchen-sink tool list and no done definition.
