It distinguishes three failure cases: `unknown_host` (the target machine isn't recognized), `not_served` (the tool isn't offered by that machine), and `incompatible` (the tool can't run there). When routing fails, it lists which other connected machines could serve the tool instead.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis gives more specific feedback when a tool call can't reach the right machine, and points toward alternative machines that could actually run it, instead of failing with a vague error.\n\n- Area: Multi-Machine\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
