Claude Code v2.1.323 ·

Deferred tools can carry "when to use" hints, behind tengu_snug_nautilus

A server setting, tengu_snug_nautilus, can add "when to use" hints to deferred tool lists, alongside a new tengu_modular_marble switch

Unclear It is not clear whether the marker for withdrawn denied tools now appears under different conditions.

What

Deferred tools are tools that are not declared to Claude in full from the start. This release adds settings that change how they are announced:

  • tengu_snug_nautilus is a remote setting read as an object, falling back to nothing (null). Setting whenToUse: true in it, with an optional defer list of strings, turns on the behaviour. Nothing has been read about this setting.
  • tengu_modular_marble is a separate switch. It falls back to false and is true only when the server value is exactly true. The flag server returned off for this site's account and for the anonymous baseline; no reading has been taken under this release.
  • This path no longer reads tengu_composed_treehouse. Before, it checked that switch or the session's tellsDenies condition.

Why

If the server turns it on, Claude's list of deferred tools can carry descriptions of when each tool is worth using, which can change which tools Claude reaches for. Without a server value, nothing changes.

Nothing here resolved what this flag was doing on this version, so nothing here should be read as on or off.

These values were read against a different version of Claude Code, so treat them as the nearest reading available instead of one taken on this release.

tengu_composed_treehouse Off in both readings

The flag server returned off for the account this site reads and for the anonymous baseline. A reading of off cannot rule out a rollout these two readings sit outside of.

What has happened since
Flag reading moved The flag server now returns off for tengu_modular_marble, read as this account. A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
