What it is
Scaffolding to mute and unmute served tools has landed, with state labels and a periodic timer, but nothing calls it.
Not Anthropic's. This is the line from the earliest changelog entry here that named it, v2.1.257.
Presence across releases
3Build by build
21One row per release since the first build this name was read out of. Absent means the build was read and the name was not in it, never mined means no bundle for that release was ever archived, and a declared type or a default is only ever what that release's own bundle stated.
First cited
1The earliest release whose published evidence quoted tengu_violin_mute was v2.1.259, 2 Sep 2026. That is the oldest release this project wrote about it, so it is a floor on the name's age and not the release that introduced it. It is not a presence reading: which builds carried the name is the table above.
Gate readings
0No release here has a gate table behind it for this flag. Most published releases have none at all: the readings exist only for versions the pipeline captured flag state on.

Read out of the published npm bundle release by release, and out of Anthropic's own documentation as this site captured it. Nothing on this page is a description anybody here wrote about what the feature flag does. All feature flags.
