Unclear What the switch controlling this defaults to is not clear.

What

MCP tools are tools added to Claude Code from outside, through the Model Context Protocol. Plugins can weigh in on whether such a tool may be used. For MCP calls made from a remote session, Claude Code now compares the plugin's decision with its own. When its own decision is stricter, it ignores the plugin's and records that it did.

Why

This tightens permissions for MCP tools used in remote sessions, so a plugin cannot allow something Claude Code itself would block.
