Claude Code v2.1.239

The device parameter is hidden from every tool that could run remotely

Not switched on
Useful1 Signal4
Remote Execution

No tool currently offers Claude a device option; the check that would add it always fails.

The device parameter is stripped from every remote-capable tool schema because the availability check returns false.

What

Tools that declare support for running on a remote device have the device parameter stripped out of the schema the model sees whenever an availability check fails, and that check bottoms out in a helper returning false unconditionally here. So no tool currently offers device to the model.

Details
  • The property is deleted at schema-build time, meaning the model has no way to request remote execution on this build.
  • Nothing in the build makes the availability helper return true.
Evidence

remoteExecution

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