Unclear It is not clear what the read_file as_written capability lets a connected client do.
What
Claude Code now decides whether to offer a capability called read_file as_written to the session. A capability is a feature the session announces as available to whatever is connected to it. It is listed next to another new capability that passes along the progress of commands.
The capability is not offered when:
- The organization is marked as a HIPAA organization
- Claude Code has not yet received the organization's policy limits from the server
Otherwise it still depends on a setting that is off unless it is switched on remotely. The first time it is refused, Claude Code writes a note saying it is not served.
Why
The capability stays unavailable by default, and HIPAA organizations do not get it even when it is switched on.
Something disagreesSomething we can check disagrees with this entry, or the writer said they could not settle it.
