A tool result is what comes back when Claude uses a tool. Search result blocks inside those results are now counted by the size of their content. Before, they counted as nothing.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe estimate is more accurate. That estimate affects when tool results are shortened or the conversation is summarized to save space.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
