When a cloud session sends one to a remote machine and that machine refuses it, the error Claude sees is now much shorter. It says the machine refused and is not accepting calls from cloud sessions right now. The earlier message said the machine could not be reached, that the call did not run, and gave advice about retrying.\n\n**Why**\n\nClaude gets a clearer reason for the refusal when a call from the cloud to a machine is turned down.\n\n- Area: Remote Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
