Concerns claude.ai (web/app) with Cowork tools, not the CLI.

Need. A user running Claude autonomously across many claude.ai Projects needs Claude to manage the account it works in:

  1. List the user's Projects.
  2. Create a Project.
  3. Read and write docs in any Project (not only the one the session started in), and move or copy docs between Projects.
  4. Edit the user's own preferences and Project settings.
  5. Rename sessions and scheduled tasks.

Today. None of this has a supported tool. The in-session Projects tool is bound to one Project. The only route is driving the user's own logged-in claude.ai through a browser, and since the Chat/Cowork merge that route is hard-stopped by safety classifiers (see #100730, four instances on 9 Oct 2026, including a read-only listing of the user's own Projects at his explicit request).

Ask. First-party, permissioned tools for these actions, scoped to the signed-in user, with an approval prompt where appropriate, so agents stop scraping the web UI.
