Each server has a list of its tools. Tools your organization has blocked used to be greyed-out rows you could not move onto, labelled \"disabled by your organization\".\n\n- A blocked tool can now be highlighted like any other row.\n\n- Selecting it changes the line under the list to \" is disabled by your organization\" in warning colour, instead of opening the tool.\n\n- The hint for pressing Enter is hidden while a blocked tool is highlighted.\n\n- For a tool marked ask-only, that fact now comes first in its row.\n\n**Why**\n\nIn workplaces where an administrator controls which tools are allowed, you can now move onto a blocked tool and read plainly that it is blocked on purpose.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Names: `\/mcp`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
