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.

AskUserQuestion Tool: Clarified Schema Constraints

The AskUserQuestion tool's schema descriptions have been updated to make clear that the 1–4 questions and 2–4 options bounds are hard schema constraints validated at the tool-call layer — the model cannot exceed them even if the user requests more. The guidance now says to split into multiple calls instead.

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