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.

Old tool calls in a transcript can be kept even after the tool is gone

Sessions

Old transcripts keep tool calls intact even when the tool no longer exists.

What

Transcript normalisation accepts a list of tool names to keep. Those names are added to the known-tool set and treated as known when rewriting tool call inputs, so historical calls to a tool the current registry no longer offers are not mangled. A companion option lists tool references that were stripped.

Evidence

keptToolNames

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