Cline v4.1.17, cli-v3.0.61 and desktop-v0.0.22 all fix tool calling being disabled for Dify, SAP AI Core, opencode and Codex CLI models: those catalog entries declare no capabilities, and the empty list was treated as a denial (release).

v4.1.16, also August 26, hides them because "the per-tool checkboxes were no-ops that implied granularity the approval path does not have." MCP auto-approval is governed entirely by the global "Use MCP servers" toggle. Anyone who ticked auto-approve for a read-only tool while...
