Unclear Only the message wording is known to have changed, not whether the permission decision itself now behaves differently.
What
A hook is a script you configure to run at certain points, and it can approve or ask about a tool call. A tool call is one action Claude takes, such as running a command. Some cases still send the decision through Claude Code's full permission check. The log message for those cases used to mention only an ask rule or a safety check. It now reads "an ask rule, a safety check or a ToolHost's person-only ask requires the full permission pipeline".
Why
The wording now treats a ToolHost's request to ask a person in the same way as ask rules and safety checks. These are all cases where a hook's approval alone is not enough.
