When one of those tools returns an image, Claude Code now also saves it to a file. If the save works, a short note with the image's size and file path is added after the image. If saving is turned off or fails, only the image is returned.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude can refer to the image by its file path, for example to pass it to another tool.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
