Before matching, the search text used to be lowercased and then trimmed of surrounding spaces. It is now trimmed first, passed through an additional cleanup step, and then lowercased.\n\n**Why**\n\nMatching tool names, including MCP tool names that begin with `mcp__`, may behave slightly differently.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
