When images in that output don't fit, Claude Code now puts a note in their place. For one image it reads \"[Image left out: it did not fit in the tool output limit]\". For several it gives the number of images left out.\n\n**Why**\n\nYou and Claude see a clear note saying images were left out, rather than an error, when a tool returns large images.\n\n- Area: Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
