WebFetch is the tool Claude uses to download a web page. Claude Code asks your permission before some fetches.
This release changes how those permission questions behave:
- In remote sessions (Claude Code running away from your computer and reached through a web link), a WebFetch permission question that nobody answers can now be withdrawn.
- When a fetch is refused because of where the web address came from, the call now ends with an error and does not ask you.
In a remote session, this affects which permission questions you see and whether one stays open waiting for you.
