What
The list of tools whose descriptions are shown to spawned worker agents (subagents that Claude Code hands work off to) now runs through a helper function before including GetTask. That helper is hard-coded to always return false, so GetTask is unconditionally left out of the worker tools description text, regardless of any other setting.
Why
Workers no longer see a description of GetTask in their available-tools context, which means they won't know to use it even if it would otherwise be applicable. Since the helper is hard-coded rather than conditional on real state, this exclusion applies to every worker in every session.
