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.

Oversized MCP tool descriptions are validated, not chopped

Under the hood
Useful2 Signal2
MCP

Overlong MCP tool descriptions now go through validation naming the tool and server, not blind truncation.

What

A tool description that is too long or invalid is now handled by a validation helper that knows the tool and server name, instead of being blindly cut at a length limit with "… [truncated]" appended.

Evidence

Tool "${w.name}" description

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