  • When fully enabled, tool descriptions are 60-80% shorter while preserving essential usage information
  • Users can preview it now via the environment variable

Feature flag
tengu_vellum_lantern Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns off for tengu_vellum_lantern, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
