Artifact tool messages now describe actions as unified "list"/"read" with a scope or path instead of separate per-type action names
What
When the consolidated "artifact toolset" is active, tool-result and instruction text for artifact tools is rewritten to use unified action names:
- Old action names like
action "list_assets",action "read_file", andaction "list_files"(used byasset_upload,asset_list,asset_delete,file_list, andfile_read) now appear asaction "list"oraction "read", with ascope(for examplescope: "assets"orscope: "files") or apathargument instead. - Guidance that used to say
action: "describe_type"now saysaction: "read"when this consolidated toolset is active.
Why
Collapsing several type-specific action names into a common list/read pair with a scope or path makes the artifact tool's interface simpler and more consistent for anything that reads or lists artifact content.

A reading is one sample. Claude Code evaluates its flags remotely, so no client sees the targeting rule behind a value and this says nothing about your account.
