Unclear It is not clear whether something limits which sessions get this tool at all.
What
ScheduleWakeup is the tool Claude uses to set when the session resumes work, 60 to 3600 seconds from now. It is used by /loop, which runs a prompt repeatedly.
The tool is no longer deferred. Deferred tools are only found when Claude searches for them, so this one is now loaded from the start.
It gains a whenToUse hint that begins schedules when this session resumes work, 60 to 3600 seconds from now. It steers /loop runs that have no interval toward this tool.
The tool's main description is unchanged at 3,396 characters in the capture taken under this release.
Why
When you run /loop without an interval, Claude can pace itself without first searching for the tool. The extra hint adds a little text to what Claude reads in every session.
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 sinceA small documentation edit on Use Claude Code in the cloud touched a line naming /loop after this was published.* **Not restored**: background work that was still running when the VM was reclaimed, such as subagents and shell commands, and the pending wakeup of a [self-paced `/loop`](/docs/en/scheduled-tasks#let-claude-choose-the-interval).

Confirmed sinceAnthropic's documentation has since written up /loop, on Claude Code changelog.* Fixed scheduled tasks (`/loop` with an interval, reminders) silently not coming back on resume once the conversation was compacted; covers compactions made from this version onchangelogsee the edit
