A new policy, `allow_linked_computer`, covers using a computer linked over Remote Tool Calling from a chat. It is denied for:\n\n- organizations under HIPAA, the US health privacy rules\n\n- organizations with ZDR, zero data retention\n\nIf Claude Code has no saved copy of your organization's policies, it treats this as denied.\n\n**Why**\n\nIf your organization is under HIPAA or ZDR, using a linked computer from a chat is blocked, and it stays blocked even when the policy information is missing.\n\n- Flag `tengu_org_policy_denied`: Not enough to say (read for one account on one subscription tier against v2.1.323; this account: no value returned, anonymous baseline: no value returned, compiled default: not a boolean we can read) 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.\n- Area: Linked Computers\n- Names: `allow_linked_computer`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 4\/5\n- Signal: 4\/5\n- Scope: org\n- Heads-up: yes"}
