What

When Claude Code builds the settings for starting a session, it now includes disallowedTools, the list of tools Claude may not use. It already included permissionMode, effort and model.

Why

Tools you have blocked are now carried into sessions started this way instead of being left out.

Since it was published

The entry above is what we published on the day. These lines were added later, as Anthropic's own pages caught up, and they sit beside the original rather than replacing it.

Added since A small documentation edit on Create custom subagents touched a line naming disallowedTools after this was published. The full content of each listed skill is injected into the subagent's context at startup, up to the first 32 distinct names in the list. This field controls which skills are preloaded, not which skills the subagent can access: without it, … sub-agents see the edit
Confirmed since Anthropic's documentation has since written up disallowedTools, on Claude Code changelog. * Fixed agent teams: a plugin-defined agent spawned by name now runs with its own prompt, tools, disallowedTools and effort instead of the defaults changelog see the edit
