DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Config Tool Removed in Favor of Settings UI

The standalone Config tool (which allowed the model to get/set settings via tool use) has been completely removed. All its functionality — theme, model, permissions, voice, memory, and other settings — is now managed through the /config slash command and settings UI. This simplifies the tool surface and prevents the model from changing settings without explicit user intent.

Evidence

Removal of var Fw7 = "Config" tool definition and all associated functions (sw7, tw7, ms$, ew7, $j7, Kj7, _j7, Aj7, Wj7, Gj7, Zj7) from v2.1.117.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
