Claude Code v2.1.251 ·

Capability list handed to the model is now explicitly closed

The model is told its capability list is complete, so it stops claiming absent ones.

What

The prompt that tells the model which capabilities it may declare now states that the list is complete and that anything absent is unavailable to you, and separates capabilities needing an explicit declaration from built-ins that are always on.

Details
  • The contents vary by context, since the capability set is passed in per user and page rather than fixed.
  • Reworded in this release; the block itself is not new.
Evidence

the complete set of capability names you may declare. Anything not listed is unavailable to this user.

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