Unclear It is not clear what the budget note says or which requests it is added to.
What
The Agent tool is how Claude starts a subagent, a helper copy of Claude given part of a task. The text used for this tool now receives a budget note for subagents. The note is worked out from where the request came from.
The Agent tool's setting for keeping tool results inside subagents now reads a remote switch. Its built-in default is off, so the setting is off unless Anthropic's servers switch it on.
The stock Agent tool description captured under this release is the same as in the capture before it.
Why
The budget note could change what the Agent tool tells Claude in some sessions.
