…e's 2,048-char description cap (#3234) Claude Code shows a model only the first 2,048 characters of an MCP tool description. The server publishes the full text, so the cut tails were invisible from Trinity's side. - deploy_local_agent (2,698 -> 1,477): the four packaging steps, including the manifest script, move into the `archive` parameter, whose description is not cut. Steps 1-2 are byte-identical to before. The description keeps the rules up front. - get_objectives (2,349 -> 2,034): this tool has no parameter to carry detail, so the wording is tightened instead with no instruction dropped. "stale: DO NOT ACT" now comes right after the purpose. - tool-description-budget.test.ts: a real createServer, a user-scoped key and tools/list over streamable HTTP. It fails naming every published tool over the cap with its length. chat_with_agent (2,424) is a shrink-only PENDING entry owned by Abilityai/trinity-enterprise#568, which is rewriting it; the entry fails once that tool fits.

…3234, Abilityai/trinity-enterprise#568) #3238 landed the all-tools description budget test with chat_with_agent pinned as PENDING at 2,424 characters. This branch brings it to 1,940, and the test fails an entry that fits the cap, so the entry goes with the fix that shortened it. Mechanical, per the merge-train note on the PR.

Summary
Claude Code shows a model only the first 2,048 characters of an MCP tool description and appends "… [truncated]". Parameter descriptions are not cut. The server publishes the full text, so nothing on Trinity's side showed that two descriptions were losing their tails.
deploy_local_agentarchiveparameter description. Steps 1–2 are byte-identical (checked by importing both versions). The description keeps the rules up front: package with a manifest first,MANIFEST_DRIFT, the token ceiling and the CLI escape.get_objectivesstale: truemeans DO NOT ACT" now comes right after the purpose, so the action rule survives any cut.Test
