| Tool | What it does |

| `spawn_agent` (`type=general` or `explore`) | Delegates a task to a sub-agent with its own context window. |
| `wait_agent` | Waits for a sub-agent to finish and collects its result. |
| `message_agent` | Sends a follow-up message to a running sub-agent. |
| `close_agent` | Stops a running sub-agent. |
| `spawn_agent` (`type=computer_use`) | Spawns a sub-agent with desktop interaction capabilities (screenshot, mouse, keyboard). Requires an Anthropic provider and the desktop feature to be enabled by an administrator. |
