Current Behavior

When clearing out the area for a building, if the current block does not require a tool to be broken (grass with "Use shears" turned off, flowers, etc.), builders will proceed to break that block using whichever tool they used to break the previous block.
If the tool is removed from that slot, they will proceed to break the grass with an empty hand. If the tool in that slot is replaced by another item, they will proceed to break the grass with that item.

Expected Behavior

Builders switch to an empty hand when clearing out blocks that do not have a required tool.

Reproduction Steps

1. Place a building that, in order to be constructed by a builder, will require some grass (or flowers etc.) to be cleared out
2. Ensure there is at least one solid block the builder will need to remove before removing grass
3. Turn off "Use shears" in a builder's hut and order that builder to construct the building, giving them appropriate tools for breaking the solid block(s)

Anything else?

I have been noticing this for years at this point as far as I remember, over multiple Minecraft versions, so just assumed it was intended, but Estyria in the discord server said it probably isn't, so I'm making this report here.
I think it might have started happening after a tool requirement for grass was added and then removed again, but not completely sure.

• Add a thumbs-up to the bug report if you are also affected. This helps the bug report become more visible to the team and doesn't clutter the comments.
• Add a comment if you have any insights or background information that isn't already part of the conversation.

Does the tool lose durability in the meanwhile?

Yes, of course. Otherwise I wouldn't consider it a bug, sorry it wasn't obvious.

Another thing I noticed while testing this - also not sure if intentional or not:
They don't harvest tall grass. With "use shears" turned on they still treat tall grass as not needing a tool, and if they break some normal grass with shears and then go to break the tall grass with them, it still is destroyed, not picked up as grass.
