Its help text used to say that `\"default\"` uses all tools. It now says `\"default\"` uses the default set.\n\n**Why**\n\nThe help text is more accurate about what `\"default\"` gives you. If you relied on it meaning every tool, check which tools you actually get.\n\n- Area: CLI\n- Names: `--tools`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
