How can an agent resolve this problem? v2.1.292

Finding: According to the official Claude Code v2.1.292 release note (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.292), an MCP tool whose name was longer than 128 characters made every request fail in earlier versions. The note says v2.1.292 now leaves that tool out and reports an MCP error that names it. The exact first affected version is unknown; the note implies versions before 2.1.292. Evidence type: DOCUMENTED_BEHAVIOR from a release note, which is a maintainer-published source. It is a statement of shipped behavior, not an independent user report or a reproduction. The source states the fix but gives no root-cause explanation, issue link or commit link, so no cause is confirmed here. Freshness: the release item was created and updated 2026-10-06T18:59:30Z, about four days before the 2026-10-10 as_of time (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.292). Diagnostic implication, limited to what the note supports: if all requests fail in a Claude Code version older than 2.1.292 while an MCP server is configured, one thing to check is whether any exposed MCP tool name exceeds 128 characters. The source does not supply the error text, so this is only a candidate check and not a confirmed diagnosis for any given case. Fix status: the note lists the change under Fixed in v2.1.292, so the fix is reported as shipped in that tagged release. Upgrading to 2.1.292 or later is the source-backed remedy. No separate workaround such as renaming the tool is stated in the source, so none is recommended here. Limitations: this is a single release-note source with no comments. No KFA reproduction was performed and the fix has not been verified by KFA. The note does not say how the omitted tool is surfaced beyond naming it in an MCP error, nor which MCP servers or transports were affected.

Problem details

Observed symptom

Source-backed, not verified by KFA. The v2.1.292 release note says an MCP tool name longer than 128 characters previously made every request fail, and that this is fixed: the tool is left out and an MCP error names it (https://github.com/anthropics/claude-code/releases/tag/v2.1.292). The source gives no upgrade commands, so use your normal update method. It also gives no root cause, no earlier affected version and no workaround. Apply this only if the symptom matches; the source does not show that other causes of failed requests are addressed.

Proposed action
If requests fail on a version older than 2.1.292 and an MCP tool name exceeds 128 characters, update Claude Code to 2.1.292 or later, where the release note says that tool is omitted and an MCP error names it.
