What's Wrong?

The JSON schema https://json.schemastore.org/claude-code-settings.json is outdated compared to current settings documentation.

In particular it does not list the Cron family of tools.

What Should Happen?

The JSON schema shouldn't flag CronCreate as an invalid tool.

Error Messages/Logs

String does not match the pattern of "^((Agent|Bash|Edit|ExitPlanMode|Glob|Grep|KillShell|LSP|NotebookEdit|Read|Skill|TaskCreate|TaskGet|TaskList|TaskOutput|TaskStop|TaskUpdate|TodoWrite|ToolSearch|WebFetch|WebSearch|Write)(\((?=.*[^)*?])[^)]+\))?|mcp__.*)$".

Steps to Reproduce

Minimal example:

{
  "$schema": "https://json.schemastore.org/claude-code-settings.json",
  "permissions": {
    "allow": [ "CronCreate"  ]
  }

Open in VSCode or a similar text editor with built-in JSON schema validation
