Problem Statement
The WebFetch tool currently includes an undocumented hardcoded 15-minute response cache. (according to Claude Code itself) There's no way to tune or bypass it via settings.json, an environment variable, or a CLI flag.
When manually approving each request it's very annoying to re-approve the same request multiple time. Atm. I still have to re-approve within the 15min window though.
Proposed Solution
It would be useful to expose this as configuration — e.g. a webFetch.cacheTtlSeconds setting in settings.json, or a bypass_cache: true parameter on the tool itself.
