[DOCS] Discrepancy in documentation: Reference to non-existent built-in subagent "Verify" in IAM guide

Documentation Type

Missing documentation (feature not documented)

Documentation Location

https://code.claude.com/docs/en/iam

Section/Topic

The Task (Subagents) section within the Identity and Access Management documentation.

Current Documentation

Under the Task (Subagents) heading, the documentation states:

Use Task(AgentName) rules to control which subagents Claude can use: - Task(Explore) Matches the Explore subagent - Task(Plan) Matches the Plan subagent - Task(Verify) Matches the Verify subagent

What's Wrong or Missing?

The IAM guide lists Task(Verify) as an example of a built-in subagent that can be controlled via permission rules. However, the dedicated subagents guide (https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents), which explicitly defines all built-in agents, does not list a "Verify" agent.

The subagent guide only defines:

1. Explore
2. Plan
3. General-purpose
4. Helpers like Bash, statusline-setup, and Claude Code Guide.

There is no mention of a "Verify" subagent in the feature overview, leading to confusion about whether this is a hidden built-in feature or a hallucination/legacy leftover in the documentation.

Suggested Improvement

If the "Verify" subagent does not exist as a built-in tool, it should be removed from the IAM examples to prevent user confusion.

Suggested replacement text for the IAM guide:

Use Task(AgentName) rules to control which subagents Claude can use: - Task(Explore) Matches the Explore subagent - Task(Plan) Matches the Plan subagent - Task(general-purpose) Matches the general-purpose subagent

Impact

High - Prevents users from using a feature

Additional Context

• Reference link for IAM: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/iam#tool-specific-permission-rules
• Reference link for Built-in Subagents: https://code.claude.com/docs/en/sub-agents#built-in-subagents
• This discrepancy makes it difficult for users to know which built-in agents they should proactively manage via settings.json.
