DisclaimerUnofficial, and not affiliated with Anthropic. Nearly all of this is read straight out of what ships: npm bundles, captured prompts, published docs. Anthropic's own notes go in verbatim, marked as theirs. The rest is my reading, and every entry carries the strings behind it. If one looks wrong, vote it down and say why.

Claude Code v2.1.227

Coordinator agents told to hand blocked tools to a worker

You'll notice
Useful3 Signal3
Subagents

When a coordinator agent cannot use a tool, Claude is told to run it from a worker.

CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE
What

When a tool is unavailable specifically because the coordinator agent cannot use it, the explanation now says so and tells Claude to run it from a worker instead, rather than reporting a plain unavailability. It only fires when the delegation tool is present and CLAUDE_CODE_SIMPLE is unset; the rest of the message is assembled from a template.

Evidence

. ${e} is not available to you as the coordinator \u2014 run it from a worker via the ${mi} tool instead.

Strings lifted out of the shipped bundle, so the claim above can be checked against them.
