A tool result is the output Claude gets back after an action, such as running a command. When a result is too large and cannot be saved to a file, Claude Code keeps only its opening part, a preview, in the conversation. Before, each preview was sized only by its own limit.
Now each preview also counts against a running character budget for the whole turn, one round of Claude working on your request. Once that budget is used up, later previews are cut shorter, and the result is marked as shortened. This is off unless it is switched on remotely.
It stops many large unsaved results from filling up the conversation and crowding out everything else.
