That error can now name a different attached machine that can serve the same tool, instead of only telling you to remove the host targeting field.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis gives a more useful next step when a version mismatch blocks a remote tool call: rather than just clearing the host setting, you may be pointed at another machine that can actually run the tool.\n\n- Area: Remote Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
