One tool the model can use reads views from MCP widgets that Claude Code is holding. Its optional input has been renamed from `view` to `widget_id`.\n\nBefore, the id had to come from a reminder. Now it can come from a reminder or from an earlier answer. Leaving it out still reads every held view.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes what the model sends when it calls the tool, so the model can now pick a single view using an id it saw in an earlier answer.\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 3\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
