Unclear It is not clear which programs report that they accept nested subagent tool calls.
A program built on the Claude Agent SDK can now receive messages from a nested subagent, which is a helper agent started by another helper agent. A message is passed on when either holds:
forwardSubagentTextis set, in which case nested subagent messages are forwarded.- The program reports that it accepts nested subagent tool calls, in which case only tool calls and tool results are forwarded, and only when a remote switch allows it.
That switch defaults to on when the server sends nothing.
SDK or remote programs may start receiving nested subagent tool calls and results they did not get before, so code reading those messages should be ready for them.
