Its description, the instructions Claude reads about the tool, is now built from a template and can differ. One version says: \"Neither one sends a notification: the file waits in this session until the user opens it.\" It tells Claude to call a notify tool if you need to be alerted. Before, a single description said the proactive status reached your phone.\n\n**Why**\n\nThis changes how Claude uses the proactive status when it sends you a file.\n\n- Area: File Sending\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
