This is shown alongside the existing statuses for disabled plugins, plugins that loaded with errors, and plugins that loaded normally.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis makes it clear at a glance which plugins are enabled because your organization requires them, rather than by your own choice, so you understand why a plugin can't simply be turned off.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Names: `\/plugin`, `claude mcp`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
