When another agent tries to use it, the error now also carries the message \"Poll refused for this agent\".\n\nClaude Code also now records how each use of the Poll tool ended, how long it took and how many events it saw. One recorded ending is a duplicate call.\n\n**Why**\n\nMost of this is usage measurement. The visible part is the clearer message when the tool is refused.\n\n- Area: Agent Tools\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
