Before connecting, the bridge now refuses to offer those tools when it cannot check a device's proof and either of these holds:\n\n- your organization enforces the Trusted Devices policy, or an earlier refusal suggests it does\n\n- whether Trusted Devices is required could not be determined\n\nWhen this happens you see a notice saying \"This computer's tools are not offered to your cloud session over the device bridge\", with the reason. This only applies to one bridge connection type and only when the switch `tengu_sessions_elevated_auth_enforcement` is on. That switch falls back to off, though the flag server has returned it on for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline in earlier readings.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn organizations that require trusted devices, cloud sessions will not receive this computer's tools over the bridge, and the notice explains why instead of the tools silently failing.\n\n- Flag `tengu_sessions_elevated_auth_enforcement`: Off by default, switched on for this account (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.282; this account: on, anonymous baseline: on, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: Remote Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5"}
