Preflight Checklist

  • I have searched existing issues and this hasn't been reported yet
  • This is a single bug report (please file separate reports for different bugs)
  • I am using the latest version of Claude Code

What's Wrong?

Description

The /agents dialog in Claude Code displays built-in tools with incorrect/missing categorization:

  • Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit — shown as "Uncategorized"
  • AskUserQuestion — shown as "Unrecognized"

All tools function correctly — this is purely a display/classification issue in the agents dialog UI.

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Open Claude Code
  2. Run /agents
  3. Observe the tool inventory list

What Should Happen?

Expected Behavior

Built-in tools should either:

  • Be grouped under a named category (e.g., "Built-in" or "Core Tools")
  • Or be excluded from the listing if they're system-level tools not meant to be shown

Error Messages/Logs

## Actual Behavior

  - Core file tools (Read, Grep, Glob, Write, Edit) appear under "Uncategorized"
  - AskUserQuestion appears as "Unrecognized"

Steps to Reproduce

The issue is that when you open the /agents dialog (or /plugin), the tool inventory categorization is off. But I don't know the exact UI flow you followed to see "Uncategorized" and "Unrecognized" — it could be /agents, /plugin, or a specific tab/section within those dialogs.

TL;DR

The issue can be resolved by updating the categorization of built-in tools in the Claude Code UI, potentially by adding them to a "Built-in" or "Core Tools" category.

Guidance

  • Verify that the issue is not specific to the Opus Claude Model by testing with other models, if available.
  • Check the UI code for the /agents dialog to see how tool categorization is currently implemented and where the "Uncategorized" and "Unrecognized" labels are coming from.
  • Consider adding a "Built-in" or "Core Tools" category to the UI to group the affected tools, or modify the code to exclude system-level tools from the listing.
  • Review the documentation for the Claude Code version (v2.1.117) to see if there are any known issues or updates related to tool categorization.

Example

No code snippet is provided as the issue does not include specific code details.

Notes

The issue may be specific to the Opus Claude Model or the Windows platform, and further testing is needed to determine the root cause. Additionally, the lack of information about the last working version and any recent changes makes it difficult to identify a specific fix.

Recommendation

Apply workaround: Update the UI code to add a "Built-in" or "Core Tools" category for the affected tools, as this is a display/classification issue and the tools function correctly.
