fix(chatd): improve subagent tool descriptions and strip tools from child agents ( #22441 )
...
Two changes:
1. **Gate subagent tools behind `!chat.ParentChatID.Valid`** so child
agents never receive `spawn_agent`, `wait_agent`, `message_agent`, or
`close_agent`. Previously all 4 tools were given to every chat.
`spawn_agent` would fail at runtime ("delegated chats cannot create
child subagents") but the other 3 had no guard at all — meaning a child
could theoretically operate on sibling chats. Removing the tools
entirely is cleaner and saves context window.
2. **Rewrite tool descriptions to explain *when* to use them**, not just
what they do. `spawn_agent` now says to use it for clearly scoped,
independent, self-contained tasks (e.g. fixing a specific bug, writing a
single module, running a migration) and explicitly says *not* to use it
for simple operations you can handle with
`execute`/`read_file`/`write_file`. It also states that child agents
cannot spawn their own subagents. The other 3 tools get similar
guidance-oriented descriptions.
