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.

Plugin discovery tools handle a missing SuggestPluginInstall

You'll notice

Plugins

Plugin search and list results now come back as plain text when install cards aren't available.

What

The ListPlugins prompt and the SearchPlugins description no longer assume the install-card tool is available.

Details
  • both now instruct the model to relay results as text when SuggestPluginInstall is not among its tools
  • when the tool is present, the install-card behaviour is unchanged
Evidence

otherwise relay the relevant results in text instead.

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