Unclear What a user sees when a tool search is refused, and how an outside-sandbox grant is given, is not stated.
What
Claude Code's handling of a refused tool search has changed. A refusal is reported with the message "tool search refused". Tool search is how Claude Code looks up tools that are not loaded up front. Claude Code also reads a value that grants access outside the sandbox, which is the restricted area commands normally run in.
Why
This points to changes in how Claude Code handles a refused tool search and permission to work outside the sandbox.
