Unclear It is not clear what switches this tool on, so it may not be available in every session.

What

Claude Code has a new tool, described as "Wait for your background work". A tool is an action Claude can choose to take during a reply. This one makes Claude wait until one of these arrives:

  • a background task finishing
  • a queued message
  • mail from a teammate
  • a scheduled run firing

If Claude calls it a second time in the same reply, the second call returns a result saying it is a duplicate instead of waiting again.

Why

This gives Claude a direct way to hold until work it started in the background is ready, rather than checking repeatedly.
