Unclear It is not clear whether this changes when subagents can be started or only reorganises the same checks.
What
A subagent is a helper agent Claude can start to handle part of a task. The conditions that decide whether that option is offered used to be written out in place: whether the tool is present, its name, and a limit on how deeply agents can be nested. They are now handled by one shared check, which also receives the current nesting depth and the list of allowed agent types.
Why
This could change when starting a subagent is offered.
