You'll notice
--tools now shows a specific warning when you exclude a built-in tool that's been removed
What
When using the --tools flag to exclude a tool by name, if that name used to refer to a built-in tool that Claude Code has since removed, the CLI now shows a distinct message explaining that, instead of treating it as if you'd simply mistyped an unknown tool name.
Why
This makes it clearer when a --tools exclusion refers to a tool that no longer exists, rather than leaving the user to guess whether they made a typo.

Confirmed since
Anthropic's documentation has since written up --tools, on CLI reference.
