What
Claude Code ships with a settings library for Cowork 3P. That library now offers:
TOOL_POLICY_EDITOR_VALUES, the three tool policies "allow", "ask" and "blocked"
strictestToolPolicy, lookupMcpToolPolicy and isApprovalRequiredToolPolicy, helpers for working with those policies
PROVIDERS and PROVIDER_DISPLAY
configReferenceUrl and CONFIG_REFERENCE_URL
It no longer offers dictationEndpoints. Some setting fields are now tagged with the version they first appear in: "1.19367.0" on Arguments and Custom URL, and "1.25927.0" on the built-in GitHub server.
Why
The library now has a shared set of tool policies, a link to a settings reference, and a record of which version each tagged field needs.
How sure we are
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
The writer flagged doubtThe finding does not say whether Claude Code itself uses any of these additions.
