A subagent that calls it gets the standard refusal telling it to finish with the tools it has.\n\n**Details**\n\n- The refusal text is the existing shared one, so no new message shape.\n- Only subagents are affected; the main session can still refresh MCP tools.\n\n**Evidence**\n\n`is not available inside subagents. Complete the task with the tools provided and return findings to the orchestrator.`\n\n- Area: MCP\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5"}
