What
When Claude Code tells the API which tools are available, one specific tool now has citations switched on when a certain check passes. Citations let a response point back to the source it drew from. The key Claude Code uses to reuse cached prompts also now records whether this is the case.
Why
This could make that tool's output come with citations.
