What
When a machine's list of MCP tools it wants to announce is too large for a worker to read, Claude Code logs a warning. The trailing part of that warning changed wording, from saying the tools "stay on the device bridge" to saying "they are not offered to this worker."
Why
The new wording more accurately describes what actually happens to those tools: they simply aren't made available to that worker, rather than being held somewhere for later use.
