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.

MCP server and tool names are escaped in control-loop error replies

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal2
MCP

Server and tool names quoted in error replies are now escaped first.

What

Error responses that quote a server or tool name back to the caller now pass that name through a sanitizing helper instead of dropping it in raw, so an odd name cannot alter the message around it.

Details
  • Covers Server not found:, the enterprise managed-policy block message, Not a fully-qualified MCP tool name:, mcp_call cancelled by client: and MCP server not connected:.
  • Applies on every one of those paths with no condition. What exactly the helper strips is not visible from this code.
Evidence

MCP server not connected:

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