Unclear The finding doesn't show anything actually setting appliesModeDrop to false, so it's unclear what currently uses this escape hatch.
What
The same tool-restriction logic that decides which tools get cut based on the current mode now has an escape hatch: if a new options field called appliesModeDrop is explicitly set to false, no restriction is applied at all, alongside the existing exemptions for things like plugin_install_diff and plugins_sync.
Why
This adds a way to opt specific cases out of mode-based tool restriction, though nothing yet appears to set this option, so it has no visible effect for users right now.
