597597In [background sessions](/docs/en/agent-view.md) and in [cloud sessions](/docs/en/claude-code-on-the-web.md), Claude Code provides the same tools on every model, listed or not.

599Claude Code gives a subagent the tools only when your session has them, even when the subagent runs a different model. An in-process [agent team](/docs/en/agent-teams.md) teammate follows your session the same way, while a teammate in its own [split pane](/docs/en/agent-teams.md#choose-a-display-mode) runs as a separate Claude Code process, so its own model decides. Without the Task tools, an agent coordinates with its team through messages instead of the [shared task list](/docs/en/agent-teams.md#assign-and-claim-tasks).
599A subagent has the task-tracking tools only when your session has them, whatever model the subagent runs. An in-process [agent team](/docs/en/agent-teams.md) teammate has the task-tracking tools when your session does. A [split-pane](/docs/en/agent-teams.md#choose-a-display-mode) teammate is a separate Claude Code process that [inherits](/docs/en/agent-teams.md#permissions) your `--tools` list and deny rules, not `--allowedTools`, so check what you set:
600 
601* **No `--tools` list or deny rule, and `CLAUDE_CODE_ENABLE_TODO_TOOLS` unset for the teammate**: the teammate has the task-tracking tools its own model has by default.
602* **`--tools` naming the task-tracking tools**: the teammate has them on any model.
603* **A task-tracking tool missing from `--tools` or named in a deny rule**: the teammate lacks that tool.

605Without the Task tools, an agent coordinates with its team through messages instead of the [shared task list](/docs/en/agent-teams.md#assign-and-claim-tasks).
