When Claude Code calls a tool on an MCP server (an outside program that gives Claude Code extra tools), or resumes a task on one, it now holds a guard on its record of connection errors for the whole call. On the tool call path this sits behind a remote switch that falls back to on when the server sends nothing.
A connection request that times out is still treated as a connection timeout.
This is probably a fix for how connection errors are handled while a call is being retried.

tengu_mcp_singleton_unwrap On for this account, and not off by defaultThe flag server returned on for the one account this site reads, and nothing in this release compiles it off by default. The compiled default is shown below, and says which it is when we cannot read one: a fifth of gates compile in a string or a number rather than on or off, and most published releases have no gate table behind them at all. No client can see what the server returns for your account.

Read once, for one account on one subscription tier, against v2.1.287. It isn't a statement about your account. What a flag value here can and cannot tell you
It is not clear what the guard does for the user or how the tool call path is switched.
