It now carries a short hint about when to use it: \"When you start, finish or drop a task on the task list\". It also has its own id in Claude Code's list of tools.\n\nWhen a task is assigned to a teammate, the message now names the assigning agent by its own name when that is known. Before, it used only the leader's name or \"team-lead\".\n\n**Why**\n\nThe hint helps tool search, the way Claude finds tools that are not loaded upfront, to pick `TaskUpdate` at the right moment.\n\n- Area: Elsewhere\n- Names: `TaskUpdate`\n- Tier: You'll notice\n- Useful: 2\/5\n- Signal: 2\/5\n- Scope: individual\n- Heads-up: no"}
