Unclear It is not clear in which situation the add-on tool is now hidden.
What
Auto mode lets Claude Code decide on its own whether to run many tool calls (the actions it takes, such as running a command). Hooks are your own scripts that run at set moments. Plugins are add-ons. Several permission rules changed:
In auto mode, or in plan mode with auto mode on, a plugin can only make a call stricter when it is one that a hook's allow cannot approve. A hook's allow in auto mode can no longer be overridden by a plugin.
When a plugin's decision is held and only a person can give it, Claude Code now asks you instead.
An add-on tool is now hidden in one more situation.
Auto mode's usage reporting now records whether a remote-browser rule applied.
Why
A plugin can no longer push through, in auto mode, a call that a hook would not be allowed to approve. This keeps such calls under stricter control.
