Claude Code adds a write boundary for three file tools

Version 2.1.314 names Write, Edit and NotebookEdit; it does not establish containment for every execution route.

The named tools

The [release](https://github.com/anthropics/claude‑code/releases/tag/v2.1.314) adds `permissions.blockWritesOutsideWorkingDirectories`. Anthropic says Write, Edit and NotebookEdit reject paths beyond the working directories across permission modes.

Separate execution routes

Editing a sibling folder with a named file tool and with a shell command uses different execution routes. The notes do not establish this setting’s coverage of Bash, MCP or operating‑system activity, its default, or symlink behavior. OpenTools’ [MCP integration guide](https://opentools.ai/resources/claude‑code‑mcp‑integration) covers external‑tool connections, not this new setting. Original illustration of the named file‑tool write boundary; not a system sandbox or tested outcome.
