What probably matters to youSection of the release
What
claude --remote starts a session that runs in the cloud instead of on your computer. When it creates that session and stays attached to it, Claude Code now passes along a set of served tools. These are tools on your own machine that the cloud session can use. Before, this was always left empty when you started a session this way.
This only happens after your device has bound to the session, which means it has registered and been given a device ID. Claude Code works out which tools to serve from three things:
the device ID
the connection between your device and the session
whether you trust the repository
Why
A cloud session started with --remote can now reach tools on your own computer. That is a real change in what these sessions can do.

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 doubtIt is not clear whether further conditions, such as a server-side switch, can still stop the tools from being served.
