"Tools available to Claude" table
Current Documentation
The docs currently say:
| TaskUpdate | Updates task status, dependencies, or details | No |
What's Wrong or Missing?
The description omits the delete capability added in v2.1.20.
From the v2.1.20 changelog:
Added ability to delete tasks via the TaskUpdate tool
The current description ("Updates task status, dependencies, or details") does not mention that TaskUpdate can now delete tasks entirely, not just update them.
Suggested Improvement
Update the TaskUpdate description to include delete:
Before:
| TaskUpdate | Updates task status, dependencies, or details | No |
After:
| TaskUpdate | Updates or deletes tasks, including status, dependencies, or details | No |
Impact
Medium - Makes feature difficult to understand
