If the result is all blank text, it is left alone. This is off unless it is switched on remotely, and it also depends on a further check.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt may change which parts of an MCP tool's output the model relies on.\n\n- Flag `tengu_eventual_noodle`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.290; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: off) These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: Nothing to try yet\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no\n- Present in the build but not switched on"}
