They are loaded through tool search, which is how Claude finds and loads tools held back until needed. Claude Code gives Claude an instruction naming a specific ToolSearch selection query for these tools, and it now edits that instruction text before using it.\n\nThis replaces an earlier check on whether tool search had been refused in the conversation. The ToolSearch tool's own description is unchanged in this release.\n\n**Why**\n\nIt changes how the Chrome tools get loaded through tool search.\n\n- Area: Chrome & Browser\n- Tier: Under the hood\n- Useful: 1\/5\n- Signal: 1\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
