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.\n\n**Why**\n\nWorkers 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.\n\n- Area: Agent Tool\n- Names: `GetTask`\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5"}
