When one of them can send this session's files somewhere else, Claude Code now asks for your permission before Claude uses it. The prompt says the tool 'can send this session's files elsewhere, so Claude asks before using it. Allow it if you expected this.'\n\n**Why**\n\nYou get a chance to stop your files leaving your machine through a tool you did not expect to send them.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 3\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: yes"}
