Claude Code v2.1.310 ·

Some MCP servers handle tool permissions and large results differently

For some MCP servers, Claude Code now reworks tool permissions, skips the overall tool-result size budget and tracks a standard key for grants

Unclear It is not clear which MCP servers this applies to.

What

MCP servers are programs that give Claude extra tools. For some of them, the way Claude Code lists their tools has changed:

  • The tool permissions the server sends are transformed before use, rather than used as they arrive.
  • These servers skip the overall size budget that limits how much tool output is kept.
  • Each tool gets a standard key for permission grants, along with a note of whether an older grant was refused.

Hosted MCP servers also get a new way of running tool calls whose results are not meant to be shown to Claude.

Why

This looks like groundwork for how permission grants work with MCP tools. Large results from these servers are no longer cut back by the shared size budget.
