A new gate can block plugin install links, requiring /plugin install to be typed manually instead
Claude Code supports installing plugins (bundles of extra commands and tools) via deep links, special links that trigger an install when clicked. A new control, the tengu_amber_tollgate gate, can now block these deep-link installs entirely. When blocked, instead of running or asking for confirmation, Claude Code shows: "Plugin install links are turned off. To install, type /plugin install yourself."
This gives a way to disable one-click plugin installation from links, requiring users to explicitly run /plugin install themselves instead.

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.
You confirmed adding a marketplace through [`/plugin install <plugin> --marketplace <source>`](/docs/en/discover-plugins#add-a-marketplace-and-install-in-one-command), and the catalog Claude Code fetched from that source names itself the s…errors see the edit
Anthropic's documentation has since written up /plugin install, on Error reference.
Added /plugin install <plugin> --marketplace <source>, which offers to add the marketplace before installing the plugin
