What
The /config settings panel now receives a value, remoteToolServingOn, saying whether remote tool serving is on. This connects to an emergency switch that can pause remote tool serving, with the message "Remote tool serving was turned off by Anthropic (emergency switch)".
Why
The settings panel can now take into account whether remote tool serving has been paused.
