When the text a plugin passes is longer than allowed, Claude Code now shortens it with an ellipsis and tells the plugin so. This covers:\n\n- `tool.register`\n\n- `command.register`\n\n- `agent.register`\n\n- `ui.open`\n\n- `ui.toast`\n\n- `ui.notice`\n\n- `ui.log`\n\nThe notice says the text is drawn up to its first so many characters. For a tool description it says the description reaches the model (the AI) up to its first so many characters. A `ui.notice` call that is refused now also shows that a notice was dropped.\n\nBefore, `tool.register` rejected a description that was too long, and other texts were cut without any warning.\n\n**Why**\n\nPlugin authors now find out when their text is being cut, and a tool with an over-long description still registers instead of failing.\n\n- Area: Plugins\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
