What
Some tools are deferred: Claude sees only their names until it loads one, and then it gets the full description. A tool is an action Claude can take. Claude Code now tells Claude that when an entry in that list fits the task, it should load that tool as its next step, even if it could do the step another way.
Why
Claude should reach for a fitting tool sooner, instead of working around it with tools it already has loaded.
