Sessions in code mode get the full tool list

When a session is in code mode, Claude Code no longer trims its tool list to the usual allowed set

Unclear It is not stated how a session enters code mode or whether readers' builds can reach it.

What

Claude Code normally narrows the tools Claude can use to an allowed set. When the current session is in code mode, it now skips that step and keeps the full list. This only happens when an internal check also passes. Anthropic's internal builds already skipped the step.

Why

Code-mode sessions now have every tool available instead of the narrowed set.
