What
When the connection to an MCP server drops mid tool call, Claude Code now says what became of that call instead of leaving it ambiguous. You get a spinner while it reconnects to find out, a plain statement when the call never ran, and a note when a reply arrives afterwards.
Details
- The spinner line reads
Reconnecting to ${e} to learn what happened to the call…, with the server name filled in. - One outcome states the call "did not run. It is safe to retry."
- A late reply after reconnect is labelled as the recorded result of the original call, making clear the command was not executed a second time.
- No flag found; this rides the existing MCP reconnect path. None of these strings exist in v2.1.241.
Evidence
this is the recorded result, the command was not run again
Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
