Summary
When subagents run, the CLI shows minimal information about what they're doing. In contrast, Copilot Chat in VS Code allows you to see and drill into the tool calls made by subagents.
Current behavior
The subagent details panel shows:
- Status (e.g., "Completed (24s)")
- ID, Type, Description
- First 10 lines of Prompt
- First 10 lines of Result
However, there's no visibility into:
- Which tools the subagent called
- Tool parameters and responses
- Intermediate steps/reasoning
Expected behavior
Add the ability to view subagent tool calls, similar to how Copilot Chat displays them. This would help users:
- Understand what the subagent actually did
- Debug issues when subagents produce unexpected results
- Learn from the subagent's approach to tasks
Additional context
Screenshot showing the current limited subagent details view:
The CLI already surfaces tool calls for the main agent - extending this to subagents would provide consistency and better observability.
