Its description was rewritten in this release in the agent prompt, the set of instructions Claude Code sends when Claude is running as an agent. The description still explains that one-time durable tasks missed while Claude Code was closed are brought up for catch-up.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe tool description is what Claude reads to decide how to schedule work, so rewording it can change how Claude sets up scheduled tasks in this mode.\n\n- Area: Scheduled Tasks\n- Names: `CronCreate`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 0\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
