Unclear The finding does not say what remote tools are or how a reader would encounter them.
What
When the remote-tools flag is off and a remote-tools announcement arrives, Claude Code clears its list of remote tools and records the announcing instance as withdrawn or refused. Forwarded calls it had inherited are withdrawn. The log line for a serving instance that has gone away now includes inherited_withdrawn.
Why
With the flag off, no forwarded tool calls are left pending.
