What's Wrong?

When Claude Code uses the AskUserQuestion tool to present an interactive selection menu (numbered options, navigable with arrow keys), the local CLI terminal renders it correctly as a full interactive widget. However, the Remote Control interface in the Claude mobile app does not render the widget — instead it shows the raw internal tool name:
Loaded tools, used a tool
ToolSearch select:AskUserQuestion
AskUserQuestion

The user has no way to interact with the options from the mobile interface.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Start a Claude Code session locally
  2. Enable Remote Control with /rc
  3. Open the session from the Claude mobile app
  4. Trigger a flow where Claude uses AskUserQuestion with multiple choice options
  5. Mobile app shows ToolSearch select:AskUserQuestion instead of the interactive menu

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

The mobile Remote Control interface should render the AskUserQuestion selection menu, displaying the numbered options and allowing the user to tap to select one — equivalent to the CLI experience.

Current Behavior

The mobile app displays the raw tool invocation text (ToolSearch select:AskUserQuestion / AskUserQuestion) with no interactive options visible.

Screenshots

  • CLI (correct): interactive numbered menu with title, options, and navigation hints
  • Mobile app (broken): raw ToolSearch select:AskUserQuestion text with no options
