What Problem This Solves

Task lists agent names and descriptions, but Explore did not advertise its restrictive Bash allowlist. Read-only investigation can still require scripts, tests, or binary-analysis commands that Explore cannot execute.

Why This Change Was Made

Append a short capability clarification to the built-in Explore description. Direct execution-dependent work outside the allowlist to an available agent whose permissions allow it, while retaining the requested no-change scope. Keep the existing search guidance and explicit custom description overrides.

User Impact

Parents receive accurate capability guidance when selecting Explore. This is a description-only fix: permissions, models, worker prompts, routing, and Swarm behavior are unchanged. No benchmark or cost improvement is claimed.

Evidence

• 87 focused tests pass across the Kilo metadata, Task catalog, agent configuration, and plan/subagent permission suites.
• CLI typecheck, changed-file oxlint, annotation guard, and diff whitespace checks pass.
• Live self-test with two isolated worktree-source backends: /agent and /experimental/tool expose the new default guidance and preserve an explicit custom Explore description exactly. No LLM requests or real credentials were used; both backends were stopped.
• Includes a patch changeset for @kilocode/cli.
