New copy explains that Anthropic can remotely turn off running commands on your machine from a cloud session, and turn it back on.

New user-facing copy explains that Anthropic can remotely disable or re-enable "remote tool serving" — running commands on a user's machine from a cloud session — via an emergency switch, including notices for when it has been muted ("Remote tool serving was turned off by Anthropic (emergency switch)") and when it is unmuted again.
