Check all available assistants using `list_assistants`.

Before you assign anything, check who's online. Running `list_assistants` pulls a full roster of virtual assistants managed by Wing Assistant. This is useful when you need to ensure the right agent—the one with local access needed for your project—is available through Claude Desktop.
