What

A tool call is a single action Claude takes, such as reading a file or running a command. When a turn, one round of Claude responding, ends on an error, pending tool calls are cancelled with one of two new messages:

  • "The turn ended on an error, so this tool call was cancelled..." followed by the error.
  • "An image in this turn could not be sent to the API, so this tool call was cancelled. If it had already started, some of its effects may have happened."
Why

A cancelled action now says why it was cancelled and warns that it may already have partly run, so it is worth checking whether it changed anything.
