15081508Tool search is enabled by default: MCP tools are deferred and discovered on demand. Claude Code disables it when `ANTHROPIC_BASE_URL` points to a non-first-party host, since most proxies don't forward `tool_reference` blocks. Set `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH` explicitly to override that fallback.

1510Setting [`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS`](/docs/en/env-vars) keeps tool search off. You can't override it by setting `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH` yourself. Your organization can keep tool search on through [managed settings](/docs/en/managed-settings), on Claude Code v2.1.227 or later. [Disable pre-release capabilities](/docs/en/llm-gateway-protocol#disable-pre-release-capabilities) covers where the override applies and what the variable strips.
1510Setting [`CLAUDE_CODE_DISABLE_EXPERIMENTAL_BETAS`](/docs/en/env-vars) keeps tool search off. You can't override it by setting `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH` yourself. On Claude Code v2.1.227 or later, your organization can keep tool search on under this variable through [managed settings](/docs/en/managed-settings). In a session that [gets the HIPAA configuration](/docs/en/hipaa-setup#check-how-developers-sign-in-and-connect), tool search is off, and neither `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH` nor managed settings turns it back on. [Disable pre-release capabilities](/docs/en/llm-gateway-protocol#disable-pre-release-capabilities) covers where the override applies and what the variable strips.

15121512Claude Code uses tool search on Claude Opus 4, Claude Sonnet 4, Claude Haiku 4.5, and later models, or Opus 4.5, Sonnet 4.5, Haiku 4.5, and later models on Google Cloud's Agent Platform. On earlier models, Claude Code loads all MCP tools upfront, and `ENABLE_TOOL_SEARCH=true` doesn't override this.
