ToolSearch tool description
CLI Claude Code, interactive mode, v2.1.304. The text the model is given for this tool, line by line, with each line marked against the previous capture taken the same way. 23 model strings share this prompt, byte for byte.
This tool has no description in the capture before this one on this arm, so the left gutter is empty rather than marking every line as new.

The description, line by line
10 lines One line number, because there is no previous capture to number against.
1
Fetches full schema definitions for deferred tools so they can be called.

3
Deferred tools appear by name in <system-reminder> messages. Until fetched, only the name is known — there is no parameter schema, so the tool cannot be invoked. This tool takes a query, matches it against the deferred tool list, and returns the matched tools' complete JSONSchema definitions inside a <functions> block. Once a tool's schema appears in that result, it is callable exactly like any tool defined at the top of the prompt.

5
Result format: each matched tool appears as one <function>{"description": "...", "name": "...", "parameters": {...}}</function> line inside the <functions> block — the same encoding as the tool list at the top of this prompt.
