[DOCS] Remove references to deprecated "LS" tool across documentation
Documentation Type
Unclear/confusing documentation
Documentation Location
- https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp - Potential occurrences in other tool-related guides.
Section/Topic
- The "Use Claude Code as an MCP server" section in the MCP documentation. - General tool listing examples.
Current Documentation
In https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp under the "Use Claude Code as an MCP server" section:
"The server provides access to Claude's tools like View, Edit, LS, etc."
What's Wrong or Missing?
The tool LS has been deprecated and replaced by Glob or native shell commands via Bash. However, the documentation still lists LS as a primary example of Claude's built-in tools. This is inconsistent with the "Tools available to Claude" table found at https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings, which correctly excludes LS.
Retaining this reference causes confusion for users attempting to configure tool-specific permissions or those looking for an inventory of native capabilities.
Suggested Improvement
Remove the reference to LS or replace it with Glob to reflect the current toolset.
Suggested text for https://code.claude.com/docs/en/mcp:**
"The server provides access to Claude's tools like Read, Edit, Glob, etc."
Impact
High - Prevents users from using a feature
Additional Context
- Related documentation for current tools: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/settings#tools-available-to-claude
- The
LStool no longer appears in/helpor/permissionswithin the latest versions of the Claude Code CLI, confirming its removal from the active binary.
