Problem
When entering Plan Mode, the ExitPlanMode tool is referenced in the system prompt instructions but is not available through ToolSearch. The plan mode instructions say:
"At the very end of your turn, once you have asked the user questions and are happy with your final plan file - you should always call ExitPlanMode"
But ToolSearch returns "No matching deferred tools found" for both select:ExitPlanMode and keyword search "exit plan".
Environment
- Claude Code on Windows 11
- Model: Opus 4.6 (1M context)
- Date: 2026-04-07
Steps to Reproduce
- Enter plan mode (e.g., user approves a plan)
- Complete planning and write plan file
- Attempt to call ExitPlanMode via ToolSearch
- Tool not found — plan mode cannot be properly exited programmatically
Expected Behavior
ExitPlanMode should be discoverable via ToolSearch and callable like other deferred tools.
Workaround
User manually exits plan mode via the /plan command.
